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.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide is not labeled for ornamental beds because it could potentially damage the desirable plants. We recommend using something like Grass Out Max. This product is labeled for use in Ornamental Beds.
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.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide should only be applied to established sod, generally at least 3 months after installation and not within 3 months of harvesting new sod, per the product label. Since this is just a post-emergent herbicide, it would not be applied to bare ground before sod is installed. We currently do not carry a pre-emergent product labeled for nutsedge that can be applied to the bare ground prior to laying down sod.
You should not use Dismiss Turf Herbicide in temperatures above 85 degrees or below freezing. Weeds must be actively growing for Dismiss to work properly. Be sure to read the Dismiss product label for complete usage instructions. Per the 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.
If Dismiss Turf Herbicide contacted hay/pasture grass it would be best to allow the contacted grass to grow and be mowed several times before you use for grazing or hay.

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.
The state of California restricts Dismiss so that it cannot be sold to non-licensed individuals.
