RoundUp is the trade name for glyphosate, which is an herbicide, not a pesticide. RoundUp Ready is the trade name for glyphosate-resistant strains of crops. RoundUp and RoundUp Ready are both copyrights of Monsanto.

Herbicides are pesticides.

Insecticides are also pesticides.

I have my Ontario sprayer's license in my wallet. I had to take a day long course on this topic to get it. Own a hobby farm.

Thanks.

Thanks for the correction - that's been a long term misconception of mine, apparently. I thought pesticides as a term excluded herbicides (basically catch all term for insecticides, rodenticides). Seriously, I appreciate that very much.

Herbicides are technically a class of pesticides
