APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:

Do not apply ORNAMEC herbicide if rainfall is expected within 1 hour.

ALWAYS ADD A NONIONIC SURFACTANT containing at least 75% surface wetting agent at 0.25% vol./vol. (8 fl. oz. per 25 gallons) of finished spray volume.

SPOT TREATMENTS TO CONTROL GRASS IN ORNAMENTALS, NURSERIES AND LANDSCAPING AREAS

Mix ORNAMEC and only a nonionic surfactant with water according to the amounts shown below. Spray to obtain thorough coverage, but do not spray to runoff. Re-treat if necessary.

ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL GRASS CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Use 64 to 96 fl. oz. of ORNAMEC herbicide per acre and 0.25% vol./vol. (8 fl. oz. per 25 gallons) of a nonionic surfactant. For perennial grasses, use 96 fl. oz. of ORNAMEC per acre per application and three applications will be needed.
• Spray to obtain thorough coverage of grass foliage, but not to runoff. Repeat treatments may be necessary to provide full season control.
• Use standard pesticide hollow cone or flat fan nozzles.
• Apply ORNAMEC herbicide to actively growing grasses before they exceed the recommended growth stages shown below.
• Do not apply ORNAMEC herbicide to grasses which are stressed due to moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury.
• Do not apply to grasses which have tillered, formed seedheads, or exceeded recommended growth stages.
• Apply ORNAMEC herbicide when the first grass species in a mixed grass weed population reaches the recommended growth stage for treatment.

BERMUDAGRASS CONTROL IN ZOYSIAGRASS AND TALL FESCUE TURF:
ORNAMEC may also be used to suppress and eventually control some undesirable grasses in turf areas. To control common bermudagrass and hybrid bermudagrass, follow the directions below:

Bermudagrass Control in Zoysiagrass:

Late Spring: Apply 12 to 16 fluid ounces of this product per acre with a nonionic surfactant. This application should be made around June 1 and repeated at 28 to 30 days. For spot treatments use 0.3 fluid ounce (2 teaspoons) of this product and 0.3 fluid ounce (2 teaspoons) of nonionic surfactant in one gallon of water to treat 1,000 square feet.

Mid Summer:During hot summer weather use 16 to 20 fluid ounces of product per acre with a nonionic surfactant. For spot treatments use 0.4 fluid ounces (2.5 teaspoons) of this product and 0.3 fluid ounce (2 teaspoons) of nonionic surfactant in one gallon of water to treat 1,000 square feet. NOTE: The 20 fluid ounce rate could cause temporary turf discoloration.

Late Summer: When bermudagrass is preparing for dormancy use 8 to 12 fluid ounces of this product per acre with a nonionic surfactant. For spot treatments use 0.25 fluid ounces (1.5 teaspoons) of this product with 0.3 fluid ounce (2 teaspoons) of nonionic surfactant in one gallon of water to treat 1,000 square feet.

Bermudagrass Control in Tall Fescue:

Apply 20 to 24 fluid ounces of product per acre. For spot treatment use 0.5 fluid ounce (1 tablespoon) of this product with 0.3 fluid ounce (2 teaspoons) of nonionic surfactant in one gallon of water to treat 1,000 square feet. The first application should be made in early spring (April/May) when bermudagrass is breaking dormancy.The second application should be during September/October when bermudagrass is preparing for dormancy. Applications during the hot months of summer should be avoided.

NOTE: This application will show slight discoloration to desirable turfgrass. Desirable grasses should recover within 10 to 14 days. Weather and cultural treatments can also affect applications. Use a minimum spray volume of 30 gallons of water per acre.
