  • Asked by Philip from Roswell, Ga
    09/03/2022
    Q
    Is Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide absorbed through roots and soil or by being sprayed on the foliage and absorbed? Or both?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide works through foliar absorption to kill annual and most perennial grasses. You will see growth inhibition of the weeds typically with 48 hours of the application and can take up to 14 days to see full death of the weed.

    Q
    Will Gordons Ornamec 170 kill torpedo grass and not hurt my Floratam St. Augustine?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide will kill your St. Augustine turfgrass.  St. Augustine is very sensitive turf species and torpedo grass is very hard to treat. We apologize, but we are not aware of a product that will treat torpedo grass and not harm St. Augustine turf.  You may want to consider spot treating with RoundUp and then resod the treated areas.

    Q
    After spraying Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide, can you safely spread mulch without wearing masks?
    We have a company coming to spread mulch in a large garden at church and we are not able to spray tomorrow since it is going to rain again. So we are thinking of spraying at 6:30 AM and then the mulch is coming at 8:30 AM. Will it be safe for the guys that are spreading the mulch?
    A

    We recommend letting the area treated with Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide completely dry before spreading mulch over and once dry typically after 4-6 hours, it will be safe.

    Q
    How long should I wait after applying Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide to aerate and overseed?
    A

  • Asked by Kevin from Wichitafalls
    12/16/2021
    Q
    Will Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide harm fruit trees or blueberry bushes where the Bermuda encircles them?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide should not be used around edible vegetation not listed on the product label. You should not treat inside the dripline or within 15 ft of the tree (outside the root zone).  Instead, you can use a nonselective product like Gly-phosel Pro taking care to avoid contact with the tree/roots themselves.

  • Asked by James from Yulee Fl
    04/30/2019
    Q
    Is it safe to use Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass herbicide on a St. Augustine lawn. Bermuda grass is invading my lawn?
    A

    No, Gordons Ornamec 170 will kill your St Augustine turfgrass.  Unfortunately  Bermuda  grass  is  so  closely  related  to  St. Augustine  grass that there is nothing that will not remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well.  In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with a glyphosate product and kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas. GlyPhoSel Pro would be a good one to use.

    Will Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide kill bermudagrass without killing St. Augustine?
    A

    No, Gordons Ornamec 170 will kill your St Augustine turfgrass. Unfortunately, Bermuda grass is so closely related to St. Augustine grass that there is nothing that will remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well.  In your situation, it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with a RoundUp-type product and kill it directly, and then replant the St. Augustine in those areas.

  • Asked by Brian from Anoka, Mn
    05/02/2019
    Q
    How many ounces per gallon of Ornamec 170 should I use to kill foxtail? And will it hurt wildflowers?
    I spread just store bought wildflower seed on a hill in our backyard every year. The wildflowers always come up real good. But I have to continually pull out all the foxtail
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide should not harm wildflowers when used as directed.  There is a list of tolerable plants on the label that we would recommend reviewing to confirm yours are listed.  If they are not we would recommend either avoiding spraying the wildflowers directly or testing a small area first to confirm no injury.

    Per the product label for broadcasting in ornamentals application is: 

    • For annual grass species, use 6 to 9 fluid ounces of ORNAMEC 170 GRASS HERBICIDE per 1000 square feet.
    • For perennial grass species, use 9 fluid ounces of ORNAMEC 170 GRASS HERBICIDE per 1000 square feet per application. Three applications will be needed.

    Q
    What is the Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide mixture to kill clover and grass in my vinca?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide  should be mixed at approx. 10 oz per gallon of water to treat grassy weeds in Vinca. Ornamec will not kill existing clover. For clover in ornamental ground covers like vinca major/minor, you can carefully spot treat using a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall Herbicide.

    Q
    Is Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide safe to use on dymondia ground cover to control unwanted grasses?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide is not labeled to be applied to dymondia.  Killing weeds in dymondia ground cover is very difficult. We recommend either hand pulling the weeds, or spot treating with a glyphosate product like Roundup QuikPro. You can also speak with a Master Gardener at your local Cooperative Extension Office to see what they might recommend.

    Will using Gordon's Ornamec 170 kill the Bermuda grass and not harm my lawn of rye grass/ fescue mix?

    Q
    Can I use Ornamec 170 to spot treat Bermuda grass without causing harm to my bahiagrass?
    I have large patches and isolated spots of Bermuda grass in my Bahia lawn.
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide can only be used on cool season turf to remove bermuda, it can also injure the bahia.  There is no selective product to remove one from the other really.   Your best option would be to spot treat with a glyphosate based product and then reseed/sod the areas

  • Asked by Greg from Huntsville, Alabama

    Q
    Can Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide be used to control bermudagrass in buffalograss?
    I am trying to reduce Bermuda grass in Buffalo grass. Is it safe for Buffalo? Thank you
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide does not list buffalograss as tolerant turfgrass type on the product label therefore would not be recommended as it could injure the desriable buffalograss. 

    Bermudagrass is difficult to control and will take multiple applications and possibly a season or two to eliminate completely. We would recommend spot treating the bermudagrass when it it is actively growing with Roundup QuickPRO and then reseeding/resodding after 2 weeks.
