Yes, it works, but I use 3%
I am a licenses pesticide/herbicide application specialist. I think I know what I am doing. When I spray, I mix 7.5 gallons of RM43 in a 300 gallon tank of water. That makes a 3.2% solution of spray. (43% of 7.5 gallons is 3.2%. inert stuff doesn't count.) To test this solution, I have sprayed over 15 acres of RV storage area. In 3 weeks, the weeds were gone. I have not seen any new weeds in 8 weeks. I have also sprayed with regular Round UP around the same time, and new weeds are starting to pop up in that area. As far as I can see, this product works when used in the 3% amount, and keeps new weeds from coming up. Mind that most people use 1% or higher, which requires a lot of time to kill the weeds, if it even does. My customers want quick results, and at 3% I get it. I also add about 2 lbs of Sulphate of Ammonia, (nitrogen), to each 300 Gallon tank. This changes the PH of the water slightly so the Glyphosate works better. Be sure to wear protective clothing as stated on the label. For large areas, as in my 300 gallon sprays, I also wear breathing protection.
