| You need to check what comes AFTER those concentrations to see what's the same. Glyphosate is an acid. To be formulated for use, it is combined with a base. In the US, this base is almost always either IPA (isopropylamine) or K (potassium hydroxide). The salt is heavier than the acid. When you read a concentration, you may see the following
a.e. (acid equivalent - a measure of how much actual glyphosate acid is in the product)
a.i. (active ingredient - this is a measure of the salt)
wt.% (usually the salt)
For IPA salt (typical)
356g/l a.e. = 480g/l a.i. = 41% wt. IPA salt of glyphosate
FOR K Salt (typical)
540g/l a.e. = 660g/l a.i. = 48.8% wt. K salt of glyphosate | |

What the difference of diffeerent glyphosate formulation?
