Description

Product Overview

Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer is a professional‑grade concentrate formulated with the powerful systemic herbicide Imazapyr. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, this product delivers rapid, root‑level eradication of a broad spectrum of weeds, grasses, and unwanted vegetation. The 1‑gallon container provides enough concentrate to prepare up to 1,600 sq ft of treatment solution, making it an economical choice for large‑area projects. With a lightweight 8‑ounce per gallon formulation, the product is easy to handle, store, and mix. The clear labeling includes essential details such as UPC, GTIN, and manufacturer information, ensuring compliance with retail standards. The product’s specifications—128 fl oz total fluid volume, dimensions of 4.56 × 7 × 11.65 in, and a spray‑ready form—make it compatible with standard tank‑mix sprayers and hose‑end applicators.

Usage

Ortho GroundClear is engineered for versatile use across a wide range of hard‑scape environments. Apply the prepared solution to driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, gravel pathways, rock gardens, desert‑style landscapes, under decks, and along fence lines where weeds are a persistent problem. The concentrate works best when mixed at a ratio of 24 fl oz per gallon of water, creating a uniform spray that penetrates soil and reaches the root zone of target plants. For optimal results, apply on a dry, wind‑free day and allow the solution to dry completely before exposing the area to foot traffic or rain. This product is safe for use around ornamental plants when applied carefully, as the systemic action is confined to the treated weeds and does not drift onto nearby foliage.
