The most important thing about this bottle is what is no longer in it: Bayer removed glyphosate from residential Roundup, and this is one of the replacements.
Our Verdict
A competent hardscape product carrying a brand name that now means something different. MSU Extension's write-up on the reformulation is worth reading before you buy on habit: the residential line replaced glyphosate with triclopyr, fluazifop and diquat, and those three do not behave like the old formula. Triclopyr hits broadleaves only, fluazifop hits grasses only, diquat gives the fast visible burn — together they are still non-selective in effect, so it stays off lawns. Two consequences people get caught by. MSU notes these products are NOT labeled for vegetable or other edible gardens, even as a burndown, which the glyphosate version was. And the extended-control versions in the same family add imazapic, which MSU warns can move through soil and be taken up by roots, so keep well clear of tree and shrub root zones. Three and a half stars is for a decent product sold under a name that invites a wrong assumption.
Consider This Instead
Our rating above is what it is. If the limits we describe rule this out for your lawn, these rate higher for the same job — read them before you decide.
- Compare-N-Save 41% Glyphosate Concentrate
Our rating: 4/5$36–$42
The cheapest way to buy plain glyphosate — and the fastest way to put a dead brown patch in a lawn if you spray it there.
Read the review → - Generic (distributor pack) Glyphosate 4 Extra 41%
Our rating: 4.4/5$68–$82
41% glyphosate with the surfactant already in it, at acreage volume — the cheapest route to a systemic kill if you have the area to justify 2.5 gallons.

✅ Pros
- No mixing or measuring — the wand and pump are built in
- Diquat gives visible results within hours, which makes coverage easy to judge
- Contains no glyphosate, if that is the thing you were avoiding
- The wand reaches paving cracks and fence lines without stooping
⚠️ Cons
- Non-selective in effect — fluazifop is specifically there to kill grasses, so it will kill turf
- Not the product your older bottle was; the brand name is the same and the chemistry is not
- MSU Extension: not labeled for vegetable or edible gardens, even as a burndown
- Related extended-control versions add imazapic, which has soil activity and can injure trees and shrubs through their roots
- Costs several times more per treated area than mixing a concentrate

Where our facts come from
Label read on EPA's label database
EPA Reg. No. 71995-65
We opened this product's accepted label on EPA's own Pesticide Product Label System — the strongest source available for what a product is registered to do.
What we found when we read it
EPA PPLS registry read 2026-08-03: registered as 'LG1920 ROUNDUP READY-TO-USE', EPA Reg. 71995-65, with 'ROUNDUP WEED & GRASS KILLER' and 'ROUNDUP POISON IVY PLUS TOUGH BRUSH KILLER' among its alternate brand names. THREE actives, no more: diquat dibromide 0.073%, fluazifop-P-butyl 0.097%, triclopyr triethylamine salt 0.122%. A web search asserted a fourth active, imazapic ammonium salt 0.015%; the EPA registry lists no imazapic and we do not record it. That mattered enough to check because imazapic has soil residual and this product is carded in how-long-after-roundup-can-i-plant-grass, where a residual active would change the seeding answer. It does not: there is no glyphosate here and no soil-residual active either.
Where this page and the container disagree, the container wins — the label is the legal authority on rates and restrictions. How to read one yourself.
