If the other 82% are inert ingredients, no problem as long as you don't apply to the foliage of your plants. The isopropylamine salt of glyphosate is inactive once it hits soil. However, if the other ingredients are herbicides, it's unsafe. Sounds like another trade name for Roundup.

That 82% is water, surfactant & other adjuvants. The label doesn't disclose this but the MSDS does.

Worldwide demand for glyphosate is at an all time high & growing due to Roundup ready crop growth. Therefore even though Glyphosate is off-patent the price will start rising next month for the first time in a long time.
