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.
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.
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.
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.
Fusilade II can be applied to ground covers including Aptenia cordifolia (Hearts and Flowers-Red Apple) to eliminate grasses including Bermuda and Rye. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
