Avery: I have to agree with Nat, a pump is apump is a pump, don't think it will matter what the chemical is.

Only experience I've ever encountered with spray pumps is some of the wetable powders were very hard on roller pumps. Piston, diaphram or centrifical pumps stood up to those much better, enough so, they were more economical. Then when it came to insecticides requiring higher presures, piston or diaphram were the only way to go. Roundup is so far from any of that criteria, I can't see it needing any special pump. Roundup is the same chemical regardless of whether you spraying it on a roundup ready crop or any other application.

If you are using hydraulic agitation then a high volume pump like centrifical does have some bnefit, but that would be the same with any chemical.
