Most potent weedkiller out of these two please

Hi


We have a buddleia growing into our house masonry, causing damage, and it must be killed off.


I have 2 different packs of strong weedkiller here, but can't work out which is most potent, as they are g/l and g/kg.

Can someone advise please?


A) 120g/l glyphosate and 0.33 pyraflufen-ethyl.


B) 630g/kg glyphosate


Thanks!

If we take the density as being very similar to water, we can make a rough comparison.

 

One litre of water weighs 1kg.

 

It therefore follows that B has 5.25 times as much glyphosphate in it as A, but we also have to take into account that A contains a second chemical.  A quick online search finds very few matches between that and buddleia, whereas glyphosphate yields lots of results on the same search.

 

I would therefore suggest that B is the better product for this job on both grounds.
