Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress the weeds listed on the label when applied alone shortly after weeds have emerged. Apply Dismiss Turf Herbicide at rates from 4 to 12 fl. oz/acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Do not exceed the application rate specified for the turfgrass species on the label. To broaden the weed spectrum and increase effectiveness for certain weeds listed on the label, Dismiss Turf Herbicide may be tank mixed with other EPA registered post-emergent herbicides. Read and follow the Tank Mixtures Compatibility section of this label to determine compatibility of tank mixtures. Read the label recommendations of the tank mix partner to determine turfgrass species safety, use rate and application procedures. Follow all label restrictions, use directions and precautionary statements before using these tank mixtures. Control of emerged annual grass weeds may be improved by combining Dismiss Turf Herbicide with other registered post emergence herbicides.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress sedges listed on the label when applied at a rate of 4 to 12 fl. oz./acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Apply the highest rate consistent with the rate needed for turfgrass safety on the label. Rates lower than 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will generally control sedges for at least 60 days. A rate of 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will provide approximately 75% control for at least 60 days.
Purple Nutsedge; For optimum control of purple nutsedge, split applications are recommended. Apply 4-8 ounces per acre as an initial application followed by a second application when evidence of actively growing purple nutsedgeis visible. Do not exceed the maximum rate per acre based on turfgrass variety listed on the label - Tolerant grasses.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress specific annual grasses listed on the label when applied at a rate of 4 to 12 fl. oz./acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Apply the highest rate consistent with the rate needed for turfgrass tolerance listed on the label. Rates lower than 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will generally control grasses for at least 60 days. Dismiss Turf Herbicide works best if applied when the annual grasses are small (pre tiller stage) and actively growing.
Good spray coverage is needed for optimum control of grasses. Temporary discoloration of some turfgrass species may result from use of surfactant. Use of surfactants is not recommended.
Apply as a directed spray toward the base of the plant. Do not spray over-the-top. Dismiss Turf Herbicide is most effective when applied to soil free of clods and debris such as leaves or mulch. When applied as a pre-emergent, the treated area should receive at least 0.25 inches of irrigation or rainfall after application for the greatest efficacy.
The addition of liquid fertilizers can increase the probability of superficial damage to green plant tissue inadvertently treated if applied with Dismiss Turf Herbicide.
Worked great!!

Dismiss worked great using a portable sprayer. I mixed the solution at a rate of .275 oz per gallon. This mixture was applied to many sections of my yard where weeds were growing mixed in with grass. The treatment was applied around a temperature of 90F degrees. I do not recommend applying at temperatures above 90F. Some weeds got weak in 24 hours and most showed signs of damage by 48 hours. For some weeds it took 1 week for the real effect to show up. My St. Augustine grass showed no signs it had been treated at all. The weeds died but the grass was unaffected. After treatment the grass has really started to take off. The product comes with a add on filler tube, similar to pest control mixtures, where you can accurately and safely measure the amount of product being added to your mixer. Be sure to shake up your sprayer every 10 minutes to ensure the mixture stays consistent. I applied the mixture to the yard in more of a spot treatment process than covering the whole yard. Why spray weed free grasses that are not the target? The treated section should just get wet. There is NO need to soak the ground. This product is a contact product so the roots are not the target, it is the plant above ground. Best effect was on nutsedge. Showed significant yellowing and weakness quickly. Worst effect was some form of clover. It took 2-3 weeks to show signs it was dying. We have about 15 varieties of weeds in our yard and this product killed them all. It did take a second treatment on the crab grass to fully kill it. The cost of this product seems high, but it will save you hundreds versus yard spraying service people. I decided to use my pest control experience on my yard after some clown showed up and killed most of our yard with improperly applied chemicals. Do yourself a favor and fire your yard service before they kill your lawn and leave you with just weeds. Do it yourself when you want to, how you want to, and save money in the process!

WOW!
By Gary on 07/30/2011
Went to my local flower seller. They sold me "Sedge Hammer." Required a product to help it stick to the plant. Between the two products: $35.00. Did an experiment: while not scientific, it told me what I needed to know. I sprayed one side of my driveway with "Dismiss," and the other side with the local product. It was amazing! Following the instructions to a 'T' on both products, the Dismiss side was dead and withered within 4 days. The local product showed no change. After two weeks, the local product made the sedge plants look sick-yet still green and present in my yard. I am sold on Dismiss for a rapid removal of this pest. I have been trying to rid the lawn in these areas for years. I now think I have the answer: Dismiss. Worth every penny.

Review of Dismiss Aug 2011
By Dr. on 09/09/2011
Verified Purchase
Had been using Sedgehammer on Yellow Nutsedge for couple of years (with surfactant); was generally successful but took several weeks to show effect. Sometimes did not work; perhaps because I occasionally held unused quantities over for several days, then using the remaining portion?; or maybe not. Blogs note Sedgehammer must be used within 4 hrs of mixing or it loses effectiveness. Seeking more responsive control, tried Dismiss, using only as a spot spray at .0275 per 1.5 gallon water. Killing effect seen in 48 hrs. Discoloration of grass seen in sprayed area(s), but this disappeared within 7-10 days. I will reduce dose in future to see if discoloration persists.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide
By Vicki on 09/13/2011
Verified Purchase
Our lawn guy recommended this product. He charges almost $200 for one application. I purchased the product myself, and he told me the mix ratio and I applied to my lawn myself in a 1 gallon pump sprayer. The stuff works...just make sure you apply enough on the areas. I missed some spots, so I need to re-apply. But where I did do a good job of applying...no more nut sedge weeds. I recommended your site to a co-worker so he could purchase some for his lawn.

Dismiss - It really works
By Jim on 08/01/2011
Verified Purchase
I hate nutsedge and have tried everything to get rid of it, even using RoundUp which killed my entire back yard. I have been on hand and knees with a water color brush painting it with Roundup. I have used Sedge Hammer which was fair. Now I am delighted to report that Dismiss actually works! I am thrilled. Nutsedge loves this dry hot weather and I have practically eliminated it (I missed some with my spraying). I am telling all my friends and neighbors. Expensive, but well worth it.

The application of Dismiss Turf Herbicide will need to stay outside of the drip line of any fruit trees or any edibles to avoid uptake by the tree roots.
For weeds under the canopy or within the drip line of fruit trees, it s recommended to spot treat the weeds directly with Avenger Weed Killer Concentrate as this is a non selective herbicide.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide has no temperature restrictions unless it’s above 90 degrees. But the weeds would need to be actively growing in order for the proudct to be effective, and that is usually when temperatures are above 55 degrees. For control of bittercress in your fescue lawn at lower temperatures, you can use something with an Ester formula like SpeedZone. Keep in mind that the weeds would still need to be growing for best results.

My yard is a mix of Fescue and Bermuda, which is spreading from my neighbors lawn. It's early February and the weeds are popping up everywhere. My back yard measures approx 1/3 acre. Would a selective herbicide be best or do you recommend a weed and feed?
Dismiss Turf Herbicide is labeled to kill Henbit and labeled safe for fescue and Bermudagrass. It's a post-emergent and will kill the weeds that are already popping up. For better control of Henbit, you can make a pre-emergent application using Prodiamine 65 WDG in the summer, fall or winter before weed seeds germinate.

Weeds include goose grass,sedge, and most typical florida lawn weeds. Because Emerald grows so slow I feel the need to prevent and kill more weeds than I would with st Augustine or any other lawn. I've used sedge pro but it does not get a lot of the other weeds.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide can be applied anytime the target weeds are actively growing and healthy, just avoid spraying during high temperatures. You may need to apply in the morning or evening.

I have a Bahia grass yard in Central Florida. Dismiss is the product I believe will kill my weeds including Nutsedge and broadleaf weeds. The problem is that it can not be used within 50' of water or where runoff may enter a body of water, and I live on a lake. Is there another product that kills Nutsedge and broadleaf weeds in Bahia turf grass?
We recommend using a product that specifically states bahia grass will tolerate it. Please look in to Fertilome Weed Free Zone. This product will treat many different types of broadleaf weeds and bahia grass will tolerate it. We recommed that you treat with SedgeHammer for the treatment of nutsedge in your lawn. Please read the product labels for both products prior to application for more detailed information.
Fertilome Weed Free Zone Product Label
Fertilome Weed Free Zone-Product Label States the following:
'Do not apply directly to or near water, storm drains, gutters, sewers, or drainage
ditches. Do not apply within 25 feet of rivers, fish ponds, lakes, streams,
reservoirs, marshes, estuaries, bays, and oceans. Do not apply when windy.
To prevent product runoff, do not overwater the treated area to the point of
runoff or apply when raining or when rain is expected that day. Rinse applicator
over lawn or garden area only.'

it is coming into spring so i want to avoid new weeds but i have existing ones I need to kill too..
You could potentially apply Dismiss Turf Herbicide with a pre-emergent herbicide as long as neither label prohibits such use and both can be used in the same areas. However, you want to be sure that you are applying your products at the optimal time for the weeds you are targeting. Pre-emergents must be applied before weeds germinate, which is usually when soil temperatures are between 50-55 degrees. Post-emergent herbicides will be most effective when target weeds are young and actively growing; for most herbicides this is in the range of 60-85 degrees. Be sure to calibrate products properly, and if you are mixing two products that have not previously been verified to work together, it is best to do a small jar test for compatability first.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide is only a post-emergent herbicide, so it will not affect any seed heads that possibly split and have not yet germinated at the time of application and before the target plants have died. You may want to take the label rates for Table 2 (sedges) and split your application for optimal control of weeds like nutsedge and kyllinga.
Our lawn has developed patches of what looks like kyllinga grass and some other sedge and crabgrass. I would like to spot spray this week to kill the weeds. Every fall, I aerate and overseed the lawn. 30 days?
Per the Dismiss Turf product label: Reseeding, overseeding or sprigging of treated areas within one (1) month after application of this product could inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrasses. Overseeding of bermudagrass with perennial ryegrass at two (2) to four (4) weeks after an application can be done if slight injury to perennial ryegrass can be tolerated.
