Yes, there are. Sometimes very miniscule and other times very much. The concentration of glyphosate is one thing but the active has to be formulated in a salt. Different salts perform differently--think ammonium salt versus potassium salt with the original versus the powermax- or the TMS version that came from Zeneca/Syngenta that injured roundup ready corn. They were all glyphosates.

Then, when I think Clear Out came out ( the first Chinese generic) it would bronze RRSB and nearly kill RRC and had poor rainfastness.

After all that, there are many that perform very well. In my mind, Monsanto has the best and most consistent formulations of glyphosate on the market. If I were blind with no experience with them, Roundup brand would be my choice. With experience, I'm sure that there are others that will perform very well and then it is a price question.

Sorry for the long answer but it is like saying that all 150 hp tractors are the same.
