Roundup, known generically as glyphosate, has been used to control weeds and invasive plants around the world since the 1970s when it was first released by Monsanto under the Roundup brand name. Glyphosate quickly became the most popular herbicide of its kind in use today because of its effectiveness against many types of weeds and ability to kill them even when they’ve already established themselves in a crop or garden bed.
