You will need to take a look at the product label as you will not be mixing by the ounce or by the gallon. Dismiss South is a very specific herbicide and the label states when using it on the tolerant species of turf for weed control, you use 9.5-14 ounces per acre, which breaks down to roughly 0.220-0.331 per 1000 sq/ft. When using herbicides the amount of water you use is not what is key, only that you get the correct amount of product over the correct amount of area so as to not harm your lawn by using to much, or not see results by not using enough. The best way to measure out amount per a set gallon of water is to mark off 1000 sq/ft, walk it with just water and see how many gallons of water it takes you to cover that area. Whether its 1 or 5 gallons of water both are correct and you will mix whatever you come up with for coverage with either of the above stated rates. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Q

Can I use Dismiss to control Wild Onion growing in a rather large rose garden?
This rose garden is well established and about 1/2 acre in size. Wild onion has infested about 1/4 of the rose garden. If Dismiss will not work, what other alternative is there to get rid of the wild onion short of digging up the roses?

If that is not an issue, you can use Image 70 DG which is labeled for ornamental areas, but you should try to keep the spray directed at the bed areas and not on the roses.

Dismiss South Herbicide works best when weeds are young actively growing typically in June, July and August. Goosegrass is going to die off in the winter similar to crabgrass however we would recommend applying a pre emergent in late fall for early control of winter weeds and the following spring. Fall pre emergents should be applied when soil temps reach 70 degrees and continue to drop. Spring pre emergents need to be applied when soil temps begin to rise and are just under 55 degrees.

Q

Temperature Range with Dismiss South Herbicide
I live in Louisiana and am trying to regain control of the weeds for a centipede lawn. I the nutsedge and crabgrass are thriving. Unfortunately, I've waited until the hottest part of the year to try tackling the nutsedge specifically as I understand crabgrass is almost impossible to control once emerged. Is there a temperature range to apply Dismiss South in a Centipede lawn that is NOT irrigated? The irrigation is next spring's project… so, should I wait for Centipede to go dormant this late fall or just wait for next spring to apply Dismiss South?

A

Dismiss South Herbicide should be applied in temperatures 55 degrees to 85 degrees.
