    Q
    Can I use Dismiss Turf Herbicide in my garden in between growing season to rid garden of nutsedge?
    If not, what can I use?
    A

    Dismiss Turf is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it CANNOT be used in or near a vegetable garden or anything edible. The main product used for weeds in a vegetable garden is a RoundUp type product, like our RoundUp QuickPro product. RoundUp Professional products do not leave a residual in the soil that could possibly be soaked up by the roots of your garden. Of course you do not want to get the RoundUp on any plants you want to keep. You should only direct it at the weeds you want to eliminate.

    Q
    Can I spray Dismiss and SpeedZone at the same time or one over the other?
    A

    Dismiss Turf Herbicide does state on the product label that it is believed to be compatible with most herbicides commonly used in turf and ornamental plant management. However, when preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by following the instructions on the label. Though the SpeedZone Southern product label states: Do not use tank mixture combinations, unless your experience indicates that the tank mixture will not result in turf injury.

    Q
    The Dismiss Turf Herbicide doesn't seem to be working on Star of Bethlehem, any idea why?
    I applied Dismiss at .18 ounces using a Ryobi battery operated sprayer to Star of Bethlehem which is about a foot tall. I haven't seen any results. Do you think it's due to the type of sprayer? A gallon of water with .18 ounces covered about 500 square feet so it was even over the recommended quantity. It's been several days since I sprayed and it all looks the same. I have a major infestation in the yard.
    A

    Dismiss Turf? is absorbed through the foliage and into the root system. It will kill the root of Star of Bethlehem. According to the Dismiss Turf product label, you can reapply the Dismiss 35 days after the first application to ensure no harm to your lawn and acheive better control of the hearty weeds in the lawn.  However, you want to be sure that you are applying your products at the optimal time for the weeds you are targeting. If not, the product will only supress the Star of Bethlehem and not get rid of it entirely.

    Q
    What is the difference between nutsedge and kyllinga?
    And what kills each?

    Kyllinga is just a type of sedge.  Dismiss Turf Herbicide would be a great option for either.

  • Asked by Tom from Jacksonville Florida
    08/05/2014
    Q
    What weed killer/preventer should I use with my new emerald Zoysia?
    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.
    A
    Dismiss Turf would be a great product to treat your Empire Zoysia for weeds like segde, etc. Be sure that your new has been mowed at least 2 times prior to application. Please also, refer to the product label for application instructions.

    Q
    Can Dismiss Turf Herbicide be used with a pre-emergent?
    it is coming into spring so i want to avoid new weeds but i have existing ones I need to kill too..
    A

    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.

    Q
    How long should I wait after using Dismiss to overseed?
    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?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Dismiss a good product to use for treating spurge in a Centipede lawn?
    A

    Yes. Dismiss Turf Herbicide is a great product to use for spurge in centipede grass. You would use 0.18 - 0.275 per 1000 sq. ft. This product can be absorbed into foilage, but most of the product is delivered to the plant through the root system. Dismiss is gentle and well tolerated on most warm and cool season turf grasses.

    Q
    How long after treatment can I replant grass and garden when using Dismiss Turf?
    I have a terrible nutsedge problem in grass that's dying and an empty flowerbed. How long after treatment do I need to wait to pull up the grass and plant new grass and how long do I need to wait to plant in the flower bed? Also how close by to plants can I get to safely spray with this (i.e. 1ft/2ft from a plant) without it impacting the plant?
    A

    Dismiss Turf is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it CANNOT be used in or near a vegetable garden or anything edible. The main product used for weeds in a vegetable garden is a RoundUp type product, like our RoundUp QuickProproduct.

We do not suggest pulling nutsedge this could potentially spread the seeds.
