I am trying to find out some information about some different
herbicides/weedkillers, and the effect they would have on trees if
applied to the roots (in solution). The active ingredients in each of
these three herbicides a

Product 1: 225 g/kg Glyphosate, 450 g/kg Simazine
Product 2: 750g/KG Chlorthal Dimethyl
Product 3: 67.5g/Kg Dichlobenil


Glyphosate is absorbed through the leaves, not the roots.
