    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

    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.

    Q
    Will Ornamec 170 harm Bahia grass?
    A

    We cannot say for certain if the bahia grass would be harmed or not by Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide as this product is not specifically labeled for bahia. If you do not wish to harm the bahia, we would not recommend using this product as bahia is not labeled as tolerable. Also, if you are wanting to control the bahia, we cannot guarantee this product would work for your situation.

    Q
    Can Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide be used next to dwarf mock orange bushes without harming the bushes?
    My dwarf mock oranges are planted in a border of river rock separated from the lawn by concrete curbing. The lawn is mostly tall fescue, but has some Bermuda grass in it which keeps popping up next to and around the bushes, Each bush has a drip emitter. I live in Las Vegas, NV.
    A
    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide does not list dwarf mock orange on the product label as tolerable but not all species have been tested.  It would be recommended to test on a small area before broadcasting over the top of the bushes, or just spot treat the bermudagrass directly avoiding contact with the bushes.

    Q
    Is Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide safe for use on Buffalograss Lawn to suppress Bermuda.?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide is safe only on tall fescue and zoysia turfgrasses as labeled for Bermudagrass suppression. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a product labeled for suppression of Bermudagrass that is also safe for buffalograss. We recommend spot treating the Bermuda with a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall and then reseeding any bare spots.

    Q
    Can Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide be sprayed on Centipede grass to control Bermuda grass?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide is not labeled for use on Centipede grass and could harm the Centipede. It's mainly for use in and around groundcovers, ornamental beds, etc. The fact that Centipede is so sensitive, we would recommend to spot treat the Bermuda using a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUp QuikPro. Be sure that you treat Bermuda when it is actively growing and not when it is dormant.

    Q
    Will Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide work to remove Bermuda from my centipede lawn?
    A

    Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide could harm Centipede grass as it is not labeled for it. This product is mainly used in and around groundcovers ornamental beds, landscape beds etc. We apologize, but we actually do not carry a product that is labeled to remove Bermuda grass from Centipede. The only suggestion we can give is to kill the Bermuda with a glyphosate product and then re-seed the centipede in those areas.
