OH2 Herbicide

Efficient and cost-effective broad-spectrum herbicide

The "workhorse" of the nursery industry—OH2 is a unique combination of oxyfluorfen and pendimethalin, OH2 is widely tolerated by woody ornamental plants whether container or field grown.

  • Recently improved to virtually eliminate dust

  • Controls most grassy and broadleaf weeds with a single application

  • Effective on many of the most intrusive weeds including chickweed, common groundsel, pigweed, dandelion, oxalis, and spurge

Newly-transplanted container or field nursery stock
  • Apply after cuttings form roots and are established.
  • To avoid inhibition of the tissue union, apply before budding/grafting or after buds/grafts have taken.
  • Do not apply to wet foliage or to pots less than six inches wide.
Established container, field nursery stock, or landscape plants
  • Apply at any time as an over-the-top, or soil directed application.
Landscape (or ornamental) plantings
  • Apply as an over-the-top, or as a soil directed application.
  • Delay applications to newly transplanted ornamentals until soil has settled around transplants.
Bare ground application for container placement
  • Apply to soil (including mulch, gravel, wood chips, or other permeable base) upon which containerized ornamentals are placed.
  • After application, use a post-emergence herbicide to control break  though weeds.
  • If  necessary, perform shallow cultivation or hand weeding to avoid disturbing the herbicide barrier.
Shadehouses and uncovered polyhouses
  • Plants must receive two irrigations totaling at least 0.5 inches of water before covering.
  • After application, houses must remain uncovered for at least 21 days.
Ornamental bulbs (not for use on ornamental bulbs grown for commercial production in California)
  • Apply before bulbs emerge.
  • Do not re-apply after emergence.
