Does Ferti-lome Brush Killer and Stump Killer kill grass?

Confused. One question was does it kill grass? Answer was NO. Is this so? Yet to destroy the root system so it does not sprout again the roots are under my grass and my Daisy Asters and other shrubs. Will Ferti-lome kill them while it is working on the root system underneath of the Creeping Trump Vine ??

Answer:

Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer is designed to target woody brush, shrubs, trees and broadleaf weeds. It is not chemically designed to target or harm grasses. That being said, any heavy amount of any herbicide that is used in a concentrated area will always have the potential for harming non target plants directly within the vicinity of the treatment area depending on how and where it is used. If there is grass under the plant you wish to kill, you can try making small cuts into the plant and applying the product at the highest concentration or undiluted with a paint brush on the freshly cut surface. This will reduce the risk of it getting on any other desireable vegetation nearby.
