Features & Benefits
- Unique Features, Unmatched Benefits
Designed for surface or sub-surface application, Komeen is a post-emergent herbicide and should be applied directly to undesired foliage. Highly susceptible treated weeds, such as hydrilla, Brazilian elodea ,or elodea, should sink below surface within 7 days and often in as little as 3 days. Less susceptible species or heavy infestations may require longer contact time or higher doses.
- Faster uptake can deliver the visual results needed, even with demanding or short timelines
- Targeted control for spot-treatment of tough or unsightly weeds
- Copper chemistry allows for flexible application around ornamentals and turf
- Liquid formulation for longer shelf life
- Effective even in hard water
- Komeen may also be tank-mixed with other herbicides for increased broad-range nuisance weed control
- Komeen carries no restrictions for post-treatment water use

- Directions for Use
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all directions for use carefully before applying this product. Use only according to label directions.
Do not apply Komeen in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift; only protected handlers may be in close proximity to the mixing area or application equipment while in use. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to Komeen are barrier laminate, butyl rubber 214 mils, or nitrile rubber 14 mils. If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistant category selection chart.
Mixers, loaders, applicators, and other handlers must wear the following:
- Long-sleeve shirt and long pants
- Shoes plus socks
- Chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or butyl rubber).
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent material that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with the product's concentrate. Do not reuse them.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
- Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
- Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated with this product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead algae and weeds. This oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not treat more than 12 of the water body to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation. Wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying to public waters, to determine if a permit is required.
Certain water conditions including low pH (<6.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3.0 mg/L or lower), and "soft" waters (i.e. alkalinity less than 50 mg/L), increase the potential acute toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms. Do not use in waters containing trout or other fish species that are highly sensitive to copper if the alkalinity is less than 50 ppm. Fish toxicity generally decreases when the hardness of water increases. Komeen must not be used in ornamental ponds containing Koi.

Storage & Handling
- Storage And Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.
Pesticide Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Do not store near feed or foodstuffs. In case of leak or spill, use absorbent materials to contain liquids and dispose in a manner consistent with the pesticide disposal instructions.
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. Wastes resulting from the use of this product must be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Nonrefillable Container Handling (rigid, 5 gallons or less): Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container V4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, treatment area, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat the procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling (if available) or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill , or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
Nonrefillable Container Handling (rigid, larger than 5 gal): Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container V4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, treatment area, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling (if available) or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill , or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
