Roundup® Herbicide

Monsanto's herbicide products include more than 90 glyphosate-based herbicides globally, including Roundup agricultural herbicides and Roundup branded turf and ornamental products. These products can be used to control weeds on the farm, the golf course and in home gardens, create sustainable agricultural systems that preserve top soil, help retain soil moisture, and provide a valuable tool for integrated pest management programs. They can be used to reclaim land for grazing or agriculture that has been taken over by weeds, restore wildlife habitats, control roadside vegetation and rid school yards and parks of noxious weeds like poison ivy, among many other uses.
