DacamineGetsToThe Root
Of Your Weed Problem
in Pasture Lands
Dacamine weed killer kills the whole weed, roots and all.
That’s because Dacamine works slowly, penetrates deep for
complete kill. Gives grasses a chance to grow and thrive, re
sulting in better pasture land. Best of all, nearby crops are
safer because Dacamine is non-voiatile —goes to work where
you put it.
For weed-free pastures and better forage quality, g©>
Dacamine herbicide now.
