I think you are kind of on the right track. It appears you are looking for bacteria, and you probably aren't going to find them in any product. So the next option would be a healthy compost extract, where you take a healthy compost (or vermicompost) and try to wash out the bacteria out with oxygenated water A good sweet smelling aerobic compost will have like 100M bacteria per teaspoon and probably 1000s of species, so it is basically a shotgun and hope you have the right bacteria. You can add like a few handfuls of forest soil or other sources as well to increase the diversity. It takes roughly 30 days to create an aerobic compost pile. Finding someone with like 5 gallons of sweet smelling worm casting might be easier. For 'fertilizer' applications it is like 5 gallons of solution per acre, and it only takes like 1-2lbs of compost per gallon. You can apply it directly to the field, or spray that on your manure (which is usually anaerobic) and fluff it up and flip it over everyday for say a week to keep it aerobic and loosely incorporate it to keep it aerobic.

Bacillus Za bacteria breaks down lactofen, the active ingredient on Cobra. They are aerobic or faculative anaerobic (they can live with or without oxygen)

Imazetbapyr the other active ingredient besides glyphosphate in Extreme, can be broken down by a Brevibacterium. Another species of brevibacterium was isolated from compost and is strictly aerobic.
