    Q
    I have a bermudagrass lawn infested with wiregrass. Will Fusilade remove it, or can you suggest something else?
    A

    Since wiregrass is also a species of bermudagrass, there is not a product that would selectively remove it and not harm the bermuda.  In this case it would be best to spot treat it with a product like RoundUp QuikPro and reseed the desirable bermuda in those areas.

    Q
    Will Fuselade II kill Dollar weed vine in Asiatic Jasmine?
    Dollar weed is a real problem in Florida. If Fuselade II won't kill it, what will?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled for dollarweed specifically and is used to control grassy weeds. To control broadleaf weeds in landscape beds or around ornamentals, we would recommend using Snapshot 2.5 TG in early spring before the weeds germinate and spot treating the dollarweed when it is actively growing with a non selective herbicide like Roundup

    Q
    Will Fusilade kill hogweed in my lily beds?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled for hogweed therefore we could not guarantee its effectiveness.  Unfortunately, we do not have an alternative for use in flower beds to treat for hogweed.  We would suggest contacting your local master gardener for more specific assistance.

    Q
    Should I use Fusilade Forte or Fusilade ll?
    Can either product be used to kill couch grass in a buffalo lawn ?
    A

    We apologize, but we are not familiar with a product called Fusilade Forte.  We do have Fusilade II Herbicide, but this will kill your buffalo grass as it is a nonselective grass killer.  Unfortunately, we do not have a product that is labeled to selectively kill couchgrass and not harm buffalo grass.  Your best option would be to use a glyphosate based product like RoundUp QuikPro to spot treat then reseed/sod the buffalo in those areas.

  • Asked by Bruce from Brick, Nj

    Q
    Is Fusilade effective on mature annual grasses in the flowering stage?
    A

    It would depend on the type of grass you are trying to control.  Per the product label: Best control of susceptible grasses is obtained when Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental Herbicide is applied to actively growing grasses before they exceed the listed growth stages shown on this label. Refer to the grass weed table for specific directions on weed growth stages outlined in Table 5 – Annual and Perennial Grass, found on page 32 of the label.

    Application to grasses which have tillered, formed seed heads, or exceeded listed growth stages may require additional treatment.

    Q
    Will Fusilade II Herbicide kill yellow nutsedge in cool weather grass?
    A

    No,  Fusilade II Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges. We would recommend a product like  SedgeHammer HerbicideIt is labeled to kill nutsedge without injury to most, if not all, warm and cool season grasses. We do recommend reading over the label to ensure it’s labeled for your type of turfgrass.

  • Asked by John from Jeffersonville, Indiana
    09/28/2019
    Q
    Is Fusilade II Herbicide the best product available to selectively kill Bermuda grass growing in with tall fescue?
    Every year I apply round up to spot in my tall fescue lawn to kill off the Bermuda grass, but since it's non selective it kills everything. I live in the transition zone, zone 6. Bermuda grass thrives in the heat of the summer, but the label says to avoid spraying at this time. It would be difficult to find where the Bermuda grass is growing mixed in with tall fescue in the early spring, so would it be best to apply to a tall fescue lawn in early fall, like Sept. or Oct.?
    A

    Yes, Fusilade is a popular choice for this application. Per the product label, you can apply Fusilade II Herbicide in spring and fall during transition to control Bermudagrass in Fescue. You do not want to spray in the summer because the Fescue will be very sensitive during this time and is likely to be injured. Bermudagrass is very difficult to control selectively in other turfgrasses, so it can take many applications overall several seasons to accomplish this. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    Will Fusilade II Herbicide kill the bamboo rhizomes?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled for 2 types of bamboo. It can be used for Heavenly Bamboo and/or Phyllostachys, Golden bamboo. This product is a systemic herbicide which will move into the rhizomes. RoundUp QuikPro is typically the recommendation for controlling bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump. Then, you will apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.

  • Asked by Ray from Los Angeles

    Q
    Will Fusilade II Herbicide work on Bermuda in Kurapia groundcover?
    I've read grass b gon can be an option since it contains Fusilade, but when I contact Ortho they said it's not safe to use on Kurapia. Any help is appreciated.
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is a grassy weed control herbicide, so it is not safe for use around most types of grasses. Since Kurapia is not listed as tolerant on the product label, we would not recommend using the Fusilade II Herbicide on this groundcover. If you are going to test it for tolerance, we would recommend testing a small area first. You may also want to check with your local Cooperative Extension office for assistance with what herbicides it may be able to tolerate. Since this is a newer type of groundcover, it probably will take some time before it is listed on herbicide labels.

    Q
    Is it safe to use Fusilade II around kangaroo paws?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, Fusilade II has not been tested on Kangaroo Paw, so we cannot guarantee that it would not harm the plant. If you would like to try this product, you may test it on a small area to see if it causes damage. If it does not cause damage within 14 days of the application, you may treat a larger area.
