    Q
    How do I kill Bermuda grass in turf type tall fescue?
    I hate bermuda grass and makes my lawn look like it has mange. I am on a quest to get rid of the Bermuda and I need your help. Please help me.
    A

    Fusilade II can be used to get rid of Bermuda grass in tall fescue.  You will also need to add a nonionic surfactant for best results.  Please be advised that Bermuda grass is extremely difficult to control and you will likely need to make several applications.

    Q
    I used 4ml of Fusilade and 1oz of Kinetic Non-Ionic Surfactant to get rid of Bermuda grass, and my Kentucky blue/Fescue grass died 6 weeks after.
    The grass died at first frost 6 weeks after application. 1000sq ft. Would the Fusilade or Kinetic make the lawn more susceptible to frost damage? The Bermudagrass died within 2 weeks.
    A

    We are not aware of either product making grass more susceptible to frost damage, but Fusilade II Herbicide is a grass killer and is not labeled as safe to apply to Kentucky Bluegrass.  While it is labeled for removing bermudagrass, this is only in Tall Fescue and Zoysia Lawns.   It does state on the product label that it is not for use on home lawns as well.  We would recommend reseeding the area.

    Q
    Can Fusilade II be used on Kurupia (Lippia nodiflora) ?
    I have an established lawn (13 months) of Kurapia (Lippia nodiflora) in So. California. Kurapia is relatively new in California but is becoming popular to it's drought resistant properties and appearance. It is doing well except for some weeds. I've tried spot treating with Roundup but it is not effective long term. Once I get these weeds under control I will treat with a pre-emergent (Prodiamine 65WDG).
    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. If you would like to let us know what specific weeds you are targeting, then we could at least suggest a produce that would control those plants, even if the Kurapia may not tolerate it. 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.

  • Asked by Thomas from Tamaqua, Pa

    Q
    Can I use Fusilade II Herbicide over my established day lilies that have wild strawberries?
    A

    You can use Fusilade II Herbicide for over-the-top applications to established daylilies, but Fusilade targets grassy weeds only and will not kill the wild strawberry. Products that will kill the wild strawberry could also potentially harm the daylilies, so you would need to make directed applications, taking care to avoid the desirable plants, or you can remove the strawberry by hand. You could use a non-selective such as RoundUp QuikPro or a broadleaf herbicide such as Fertilome Weed-Out with Trimec for this application, taking care to cover and/or avoid the lilies or other desirable flowers.

    Q
    Will Fusilade II Herbicide harm woody plants?
    We need to kill torpedo grass, but have woody plants in the area. As such, will Fusilade harm Knockout roses, Crape Myrtle, or Camelia Japonica?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is safe to use over crepe myrtle, camelia, and many types of roses when used according to the product label. Be careful only to use a non-ionic surfactant and not a crop oil concentrate when applying Fusilade over the top of ornamentals.

    Q
    Is Fusilade safe to use on milkweed (Asclepias spp)?
    I am going to use this product with a surfactant to control small patches of bermuda (tiff 419) cropping up in raised beds of native milkweed (Asclepias speciosa, tuberosa, and eriocarpa). Is it safe around milkweed (I am assuming so since it is a flowering perennial)?. Thanks in advance.
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide does not list milkweed on the product label as a tolerable species to applications.  We recommend contacting Syngenta 866-796-4368 to confirm that Fusilade II could be used on it.

    I have Bermuda coming up in with my St Augustine. I just had the st Augustine put in 6 months ago can the Fusilade II Herbicide be sprayed over my lawn with out killing at Augustine?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide will also harm St. Augustine grasses. It may be best to spot treat with Roundup. Also consider reseeding/resod. 

    Updated Jan 2025:  Fusilade is not labeled to be used on St Augustine for bermuda grass control when tank mixed with Recognition Herbicide.  Following these instructions Recognition Herbicide 2(ee) Supplemental Label-St. Augustine

  • Asked by James from Davidson, Nc
    08/20/2016
    Q
    What is the temperature consideration when applying Fusilade II Herbicide?
    I've been reading don't apply when temperature is above 85F. My issue is do apply apply when temperature is below 86 degrees ANYTIME When Bermuda IS GROWING(such as the morning or evening) or does this mean I can't apply the herbicide UNTIL day time HIGHs are below 86 degrees? Read somewhere to avoid July and August applications, so I'm guessing it's too hot
    A

    With Fusilade II Herbicide, it is recommended to apply the product in the early morning hours or late evening hours when the temperatures are below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It is fine that the temperatures will be warmer in the day because it will likely dry before the temperatures get that high.
