Resistance Warning: Resistant Weeds Warning OH2 Ornamental Herbicide is a member of both the dinitroanaline and diphenylether groups of herbicides. OH2 has a dual mode of action as a microtubule assembly inhibitor and an inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen oxidase. For weed resistance management the product is a group 3 and 14 herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other group 3 and 14 herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or other group 3 and 14 herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Everris Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.
Precautions: Spills Sweep up spilled material and return to original container. Wash contaminated equipment taking care that washings do not enter sewers, drains and other waterways. Dispose of waste according to the Australian Standard AS 2507 – Storage and Handling of Pesticides. DO NOT allow spilled product to enter sewers, drains, creeks or any other waterways.
Protections: PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply to whorl leaved plants as their leaves channel the herbicide granules to the leaf base making removal of the granules difficult. DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from equipment that may cause drift onto susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze any treated plant or cut for stockfood or feed to poultry. DO NOT contaminate water used by livestock. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT To protect birds and wild mammals, remove spillages. Harmful to birds with long lasting effects. Irrigation according to label directions is vital in order to reduce exposure. Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
Storage and Disposal: Storage and disposal Keep out of reach of children. Store in the closed original container, in a dry, cool well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Bottles/drums Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of rinsate or any undiluted chemical according to state/territory legislative requirements. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product. Bags Single-rinse or shake remainder into spreader. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product.

First Aid Warnings:
| Situation | Weeds Controlled | Application Rate | Critical Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container & in-ground ornamental plants (see list below) | Grass weeds: Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), Feathertop (Chloris virgate) Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) and Phalaris (Phalaris aquatica). Broadleaf weeds: Fathen (Chenopodium album), Pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), Spurge, Spotted (Euphorbia maculata) | 112 kg/ha, or 1.1 kg/100 m², or 11 g/m² | Apply evenly over the area of pots to be treated preferably using a properly calibrated mechanical granule spreader. Apply to the surface of weed free soil preferably after cultivation or just after potting up. OH2 will not control established weeds. Apply to dry foliage only and then sprinkler irrigate or hose (10-15mm) to wash granules from foliage and incorporate the herbicide into the soil. Do not apply OH2 to wet foliage – should this happen irrigate or hose immediately to remove granules from the leaf surface. Follow the precautions listed below to avoid unnecessary plant damage and to obtain optimum weed control. One application will last for 2-3 months depending upon rainfall, irrigation, soil type, temperature and weed seed burden. Re-treat when the first signs of weed growth are seen but no sooner than 2 months and no later than 3 months after the first application. Do not apply OH2 at 2 weeks prior to or 2 weeks after leaf bud break or during periods of flush growth. Newly formed leaves are sensitive to this product. Spotting or leaf drop may result from such applications. Do not apply directly onto bare roots of woody ornamentals as injury may occur. DO NOT apply to pots within 2 weeks of retail sale. |

Application of OH2 Pots: OH2 may be applied individually to each pot or pots can be grouped together and OH2 distributed using a granule applicator. Field: Distribute evenly over the area to be treated using a granule applicator. Ensure OH2 does not stick to plant foliage or remain lodged in leaf axils or other plant structures. Even application is important for good weed control. DO NOT disturb the soil surface once the product has been applied as the herbicide barrier will be broken and weed growth can occur.
