Last year the price of Roundup went through the roof here and hit 1200 Baht for the 4 litre bottles.
(I believe due to Monsantos commitment to existing customers and a world shortage in one of the chemicals they use, due to excessive use by the Chinese.
The price has dropped dramatically here, it is even cheaper than it was 4 years ago, a 4 litre bottle is now going for 590 Baht.
The question is, does anyone know if there is some fake shit going around?
normally, roundup tends to kill everything if mixed at about 150-180ML/per litre.
I am finding i am having to do at least a couple of resprays on some of the grass and creeper vines here.
This I thought could be due to a couple of things, one, the Roundup is a fake, however it smells and looks fine, or secondly, the weeds here are building a bit of a tolerance.
I checked the last three bottles I bought, and they have changed the mixing instructions from last year, now they have a bit of Thai on the back that looks like a misprint...it reads something blah blah blah...87.5ml - 125ml ratio to 15-2L.
It I presume should read 15-20L, but they have missed the "0" on the 20.
Now I have been buying this over a three month period, and have seen at least a three month date code span on the production dates by Monsanto, yet it has never been corrected, anyone bought any recently?
take a look up in the top left corner on the back of the bottle and see if you have the same mistakes?
it seems a bit weird that a company like Monsanto would allow a mistake like that to be passed off repeatedly for over three months, or, could this be some fake Chines/Thai shit?
