No chemical will desstroy the stump except maybe fuming sulfuric acid
which would turn it into charcoal. The chemicals put in stumps are
just nutrients to speed growth of decay organisms--primarily any
nitrate.


You are technically right, but in combination with rain and the
elements, the stump will decompose. I used a 1" spade bit, drilled a
lot of holes and poured composting chemical into the holes. It
literally took years for the stump to wear away. A new tree sits in
its place.
