Fertilome Decimate Weed and Grass Killer contains the active ingredient glufosinate, which is considered a semi-translocating active ingredient. This means that the product will move well through smaller plants, but it may not entirely kill the roots of more mature plants or woody plants or vines. You may need more than one application for those larger or tougher plants, or may want to select a different active ingredient for certain applications.
