For woody weeds and resistant weeds, the concentration of the spray mixture should be increased by 50% as per the Directions for Use table. Perennial weeds and grasses may require repeated application to obtain long-term control. Contact Organics LocalSafe Weed Terminator Concentrate Herbicide works by dehydrating the plant.

The product has a desiccating action on weeds. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group Z herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group Z herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or other Group Z herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Contact Organics accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. **PRECAUTIONS:** Do not spray directly on humans, pets, exposed food, food utensils, or food preparation areas. **PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS:** DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or form spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift into nearby susceptible plants, crops, cropping lands or pastures.
