Question

Answer

Are some generic I'll never use due to bad experiences in past with them.

Answer

Been using generics for years. Most work just as good but there are a few that I haven’t been happy with. The “agsaver” glyphosate doesn’t seem to work as well as some other generic glyphosates. But for the most part the generics are just as effective at much lower cost

Answer

My agsaver kept constantly plugging my sprayer up!!
Had to clean my sprayer filters after every load..

Answer

Another thing to keep in mind is generics rarely have as good of surfactants in them..you pay for what you get..

Answer

I’ve ordered approx $18,000 in generic herbicides this week, mostly from FBN. I’ve gotten along pretty good over the years with the cheapest stuff I can find. I guess time will tell if I made the right choice

Answer

I have used generics before saved a lot with FBN this year and fields are clean at this point very happy so far

Answer

I have had no problems. That being said, someone on a fb group was reporting that agsaver glyphosate was not actually the strength advertised. They had totes returned and refunded afterwards. I've got a few totes right now.

Answer

I cracked one open today. I’ll be able to test alongside a tote of Winfield Cornerstone 5 Plus in the same field   My first complaint was the tote didn’t have the normal 2” male fitting, but a threaded fitting. Luckily I had a fitting with me I was able to rob and make it work.

Answer

I have been using generics for years.  Same active ingredients way less cost.  Never had a failure caused by being generic.

Answer

We buy chem from FBN when it’s the cheaper option. Which is normally a generic product.  We have not had a problem with any of them.

Answer

I’ve been using FBN’s generic products for the past year . The important thing to be aware of is the active ingredient. If the active is the same or equivalent as a Brand name product you will have the same results. There also may be different concentrations than your used to but that’s just a matter of proper volume and tank mixes.  I work closely with my fbn chem rep and she makes sure everything Is correct for the goal before they deliver . They are all very helpful and knowledgeable . When it comes down to it it’s just science and chemistry . I suggest you order and start saving money.

Answer

We’ve been using generics from other suppliers for years so I don’t see there being a huge difference. We’re getting the bulk of our chemical through FBN this year so I guess I’ll find out in a big way if I’m wrong.

Answer

It’s like being the great value green beans vs green giant. As long as you don’t accidentally buy the no salt added one you still have the same tasting green beans for half the price
