English term or phrase: confused by complex instructions
**US farmers confused by Monsanto weedkiller's complex instructions **

With Monsanto’s latest flagship weedkiller, dicamba, banned in Arkansas and under review by US regulators over concerns it can volatilize and drift, damaging non-target crops, farmers and weed scientists are complaining that confusing directions on the label make the product hard to use safely. Monsanto has created a 4,550-word label with detailed instructions, but its complexity is now being cited by farmers and critics of the product. It was even singled out in a lawsuit as evidence that Monsanto's product may be virtually impossible to use properly.

Ich suche mal wieder nach einer knackigen Überschrift. Hier meine bisherige Lösung: "Dicamba: ein Alptraum für Anwender". Wie findet ihr das?
