ORNAMENTAL USES 

The ornamental plants on the following list have been tested with insert product name according to the 

following precaution. [When used as a pre-emergent herbicide apply over the top of established desired plants 

only when the foliage is dry and any product remaining on the foliage should be removed with light irrigation]. 

[Flowering annuals were found to tolerate the bioherbicide when transplanted into garden beds treated with the 

pre-emergent rate.] [NOTE: There is limited ornamental plant testing [available] [as of September 1, 2009].] 

Insert product name may be used on plant species not listed on this label. [All species and varieties of 

ornamental plant types have not been tested.] If a user wishes to make an application to an ornamental plant 

type not listed on the label, it is suggested that a trial application be performed first. THE USER ASSUMES 

RESPONSIBILTY FOR ANY CROP DAMAGE OR OTHER LIABILITY. Do not treat plants grown for food or 

feed. Do not use treated plants for food. 

A trial application should be made by applying insert product name to a small number of plants (20 or more) 

and grown under conditions similar to those which will be treated full scale. Wait 7 days for before monitoring for 

injury symptoms.

GENERAL INFORMATION [PRE-EMERGENT ONLY] 

Insert product name is a granular herbicide containing Phoma macrostoma strain 94-44B [designed to 

control a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds in established landscape, field grown, and container-grown 

ornamental plants]. When applied according to the label directions, Insert product name will prevent 

weeds from establishing, depending on conditions. Seeds will geminate but the germinated weed will quickly 

appear bleached, and then deteriorate. This product provides broadleaf control but should be used in 

combination with another pre-emergent herbicide for grassy weed control.

GENERAL INFORMATION [POST-EMERGENT ONLY] 

Insert product name is a granular herbicide containing Phoma macrostoma strain 94-44B. Insert product 

name can be used as directed to control a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds in established landscape, 

field grown, and container-grown ornamental plants and on turfgrass and landscapes in sites such as home 

lawns, business and office complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes, golf 

courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and sod farms.

[NOTE: Optimum control will be achieved when applications are made to young actively-growing weeds. 

To further enhance control, irrigation or rainfall should occur within 24-72 hours after application. Refer to 

label sections on application equipment and spreader settings. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

• Unlike insects and disease causing organisms, weed populations develop resistance very slowly so the 

most common form of resistance encountered in nurseries and landscapes is inherent natural 

resistance. 

• Bioherbicides can be used in rotation with conventional herbicides to reduce the possibility of herbicide 

resistance. 

• Bioherbicides can be complementary in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program.
