    Q
    Will Dismiss work on bittercress in my dormant northern Virginia fescue in winter temperatures of 30-40 degrees?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Roosevelt from Miami,fl

    Q
    How early can I use Dismiss on new sod?
    Also what can I use on bare ground to prevent nutsedge before laying new sod?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Options to Dismiss for property adjacent to lake
    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?
    A

    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

    SedgeHammer 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.'

    Q
    Star of Bethlehem has invaded my yard
    It has spread everywhere, and despite heroic efforts, and using all sorts of destructive resources it continues to invade grass and gardens. It would make a good horror movie! Dismiss seems to be the recommended choice. But 6oz? How much does that cover and for $76.00 is it the best way to go?
    A
    Per the Dismiss Turf product label you would apply at a rate of 4 to 12 oz per acre or 0.092 to 0.275 fl.oz./1,000 sqft.  Another option would be SpeedZone Red that may be a little more expensive but is available in a gallon.  Please refer to the product label to ensure your turfgrass is listed as tolerable.

    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
    After treating kyllinga with Dismiss are the seed heads no longer viable, or will they continue to propagate?
    A

    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.
