Grass Herbicide

Recommendations

Post-emergent control of grass weeds in and around ground-covers, shrubs and trees � in landscape beds, container yards and grower nursery fields.

Provides outstanding post-emergence control of unwanted grasses in groundcovers, shrubs and trees. And the majority of the nearly 500 species and varieties of plants on the label may be treated with Ornamec applied "over-the-top". Some species or varieties of ornamentals require that Ornamec be applied as a directed spray in order to minimize phytotoxicity.

Ornamec takes out unwanted bermudagrass without injury to desirable tall fescue and zoysia turf.



Best time to apply on Zoysia Lawns to get rid of Bermuda.

Either spring when the Bermuda wakes up or fall before the bermuda goes dormant. Thats the way it is for my cool-season tall fescue. Zoysia may be different cause the Ornamec puts a lot of stress on the lawn. It may be better just in the spring for you because the Zoysia has strong growth when it gets hot late spring and summer. I was impressed how well the Ornamec killed the Bermuda.


Where can Ornamec be used? Examples include: Evergreen and wildflower beds � to remove unsightly grass. Groundcovers � to maintain immaculate appearance. Nurseries � to remove grass in the field-grown woody ornamentals.

There are over 30 grass species listed on the label. You�ll find many common types of unwanted annual grasses: crabgrass, barnyardgrass, goosegrass, foxtails, sandbur, panicums. Also, few herbicides are as effective as Ornamec against hard-to-control perennial grasses. Quackgrass, bermudagrass and torpedograss are examples. Another is Johnsongrass which is controlled in both rhizome and seedling stages.

Broadleaf weeds, sedges, rushes, lilies, and other non-grass weeds will not be controlled.

• Apply as a postemergent in and around ornamentals to control annual grasses � crabgrass, barnyardgrass, goosegrass, foxtails, sandbur, and panicums.

• For �over-the-top� applications on most ornamentals � shrubs, groundcovers, trees, flowers, and wildflowers listed on the label.
