How A.D.I.O.S.™ works on weeds

When it comes to controlling invasive weeds like dandelion, creeping charlie (ground ivy), clover, and ragweed, A.D.I.O.S.™ can be safely applied to lawns and turf.

Once sprayed on the weed, A.D.I.O.S.™ quickly penetrates the foliage and moves down to the roots. Its systemic osmotic action causes rapid desiccation by removing water from plant cells.

This non-toxic and odorless selective weed killer can be safely used on turf & lawn or around native plants, bushes, small trees and ornamental flowers and plants.
