Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide – Selective Bermudagrass Control

Selective Post-Emergent Control of Bermudagrass & Grassy Weeds

Professional-grade grass control without harming labeled ornamentals or cool-season turf.

Ornamec® 170 Grass Herbicide is a selective, post-emergent herbicide designed to control Bermudagrass and other unwanted grassy weeds in tall fescue lawns, zoysiagrass, and ornamental landscape beds. Powered by fluazifop-P-butyl, Ornamec targets grassy weeds while leaving broadleaf ornamentals and labeled turf species unharmed when used as directed.

It is especially valuable for homeowners and professionals dealing with Bermudagrass contamination in cool-season lawns or managing grassy weeds in decorative landscape beds.

• Bermudagrass (suppression and control in fescue and zoysia)
• Crabgrass
• Foxtail
• Johnsongrass
• Other annual and perennial grassy weeds

How It Works

Ornamec contains fluazifop-P-butyl, an aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide that inhibits lipid production in grassy weeds. This disrupts essential growth processes, leading to gradual decline and death of the targeted grass without harming labeled desirable plants.

Where It Can Be Used

• Tall Fescue lawns with Bermudagrass invasion
• Zoysiagrass lawns needing Bermudagrass suppression
• Landscape beds and ornamental plantings
• Around shrubs, trees, flowers, and groundcovers (see label for approved species)

Application Guidelines

• Apply during active growth of Bermudagrass or grassy weeds (late spring through summer).
• Avoid applications during drought or extreme heat stress.
• Mow prior to treatment for better coverage.
• Use a calibrated sprayer for uniform application.
• Repeat applications may be required for complete control.

Important Notes

• Not labeled for all turf species — confirm turf tolerance before application.
• Avoid spray overlap to prevent turf discoloration.
• Always read and follow the complete product label.

Ornamec® 170 provides a targeted, effective solution for eliminating Bermudagrass and unwanted grassy weeds while preserving the integrity of your desired turf and ornamental plantings.
