Thank you . That's a very good price.

So whats it trading at up in your part of the world?

Been quoted £177 . That's too much we use it on potatoes for the earlier planted stuff.

Bought mine in January. Perhaps I beat any new season increase, which was my intention.

Should have said was supply only.

Should have said it was bought 3 months ago too.

Maybe, but it was bought for this season

Got a single 20litre drum of roundup bioactive gl, to burn a field of grass off. Got bill today £117.21 before vat. Does that sound about right or are agrovista taking advantage of a new customer ?

@deere150

Do you need or did you specifically ask for Roundup Bio active ? For burning off grass 4L - 5L hectare of generic glyphosate will do a good job at a fraction of the price at about £8-10 per hectare.

Steevo · Apr 3, 2017

Anything other than bog standard glyphosate at £2-3/l is not worth having imo.

Unless you're in a hurry, need it to be rainfast soon etc

Do you believe all you are told, active is well tried and tested without the add ons I think and have found the straight works if used correctly
Regards Richard.

If used correctly. No offence, but life doesn't always allow the "correct use." Sure, I use generic costing a lot less than this but I keep cans of adjuvants like Companion Gold that mean I can spray when there are showers around or the breeze is a bit more than ideal if it the last spray day for a fortnight, usually at osr desiccation timing. The branded stuff has all the adjuvants that mean it sticks quicker & works a little faster. Sometimes a few quid more on the occasional job is worth it.

"breeze a bit more than ideal" - I like the phrase! ie blowing a hoolie

Dunno what you mean, your Honour. I never spray when wind speed is more than 6 mph...

CTL seems dear enough. Can get it for £1 litre cheaper I'd have thought

At the moment I don't think I've managed to spray when the wind is under 6mph - weathers been a pita hear lately

Are there any good websites that I can put in a chemical product name to find out the active ingredients and concentration etc so I can check when pricing chemicals I am pricing like for like

I use the www.pesticide.gov.uk product search... the link is: https://secure.pesticides.gov.uk/pestreg/ProdSearch.asp
(If it works!)

You can search by ai, name etc. It's the online version of the 'green book'...

Hope this helps!
