Product Overview
Ferti-Lome Decimate Weed & Grass Killer is a non-selective herbicide formulated to eliminate a wide range of weeds, grasses, and certain woody plants. Its active ingredient, 24.5% glufosinate-ammonium, inhibits glutamine synthetase, leading to rapid plant desiccation. Visible results typically appear within 24 to 72 hours, especially when applied in temperatures above 85°F. The product becomes rainfast within 30 minutes to 4 hours, allowing for replanting once the spray has dried.
