On the generic roundup it has Glyphosate in form isopropylamine salt. I have no doubt at all that there are many items that can kill the roots.
There are many root killers, stump killers in the US, so don't know what your root kill is.
Just for the hell of it I decided to chat with Roundup. There reply was to use Ortho Max Poison & Tough Brush killer concentrate or Roundup Poison & Tough Brush killer concentrate and paint on freshly cut stump or drill holes 3" deep and 2-3" apart.
Not as far fetched as I originally thought.
There are a bunch of different company's that thing like Root Kill/stump remover. Spectrcide makes stump killer, Zep makes Root kill, Ortho Max Poison & Brush killer. Just do a search on the Home Depot or Lowes site. They have the Brush killer made by Round up and they also have the HDX brand which is the Home Depot brand. The big difference in the weed and grass killer concentrate Round Up and the HDX brand is the percentage of the main ingredient. Round Up is like 58% glycophosphate vs 41% in the HDX brand.
