Dismiss Turf Herbicide is labeled for use on tall fescue and can be used at the rate of anywhere from 4 - 12 oz. per 20 - 175 gallons of water per acre. Depeding upon the square footage of your yard that you applied it to, it could harm the turf if it was applied at too high of a rate. We would suggest that you water it a great deal to try to disipate the product more quickly.
Yes, Dismiss Turf Herbicide is labeled to kill green kyllinga.
Once Dismiss has been mixed with water, it should be used or discarded within 24 hours.
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 hardy weeds in the lawn.
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.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide does not have a restriction for applying during spring greenup and would be safe when applied as directed on the label.
