Post-Emergent Control of Annual, Biennial & Perennial Broadleaf Weeds

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.

Post-Emergent Control of Annual and Perennial Sedges

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.

Post-Emergent Control of Grassy Weeds

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.

Selective Weed Control in Container and Field Grown Ornamentals

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.
