Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled safe for use in ornamental flower beds. It is a selective post-emergent herbicide that controls a long list of perennial and annual grass weeds in turf and landscaped areas. Not only is Fusilade II fast and effective, but it can be applied as a spot treatment or an over the top application without damaging ornamental plants
Unfortunately it does not appear that Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled for this type of weed, nor do we carry any herbicde that is. In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the couch grass with a Round Up type product. As long as you do not spray the foliage of the garden plants directly, they will not be harmed.
Yes, Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled for quackgrass.
The time it takes Fusilade II to kill weeds depends on a few different variables such as the specific weed you are targeting, the outside temperature, as well as the ground temperature. It can take up to 2 weeks to see full results.
Bermuda would be considered a grassy weed, so you need a product that is geared towards grassy weeds and not broadleaf weeds. We want to be clear that bermuda can be suppressed, but it is VERY difficult to kill completely. It will take multiple treatments to finally kill it. But Fusilade II is usually the go to product for this issue.
This is directly off of the product label:
Apply 0.07-0.14 oz/1000 sq. ft. (3-6 oz./A) along with 0.25% v/v (1/2 pt./25 gals.) of a nonionic surfactant. Application should be made every 28 days when the grass weeds are actively growing. The higher rates may result in temporary discolorization of the desirable turf with recovery in 10-14 days. Do not apply to desirable turf which is under stress. For best results, make applications in spring and fall and avoid treatments during July and August.
Complete control of undesirable grass may take 1-2 growing seasons.
We also recommend calling your local county extension office as they usually know the optimum times for spraying lawns in your area.
You want to apply Fusilade II Herbicide to dry foliage and when there is no rain in the forecast for 24 hours after application.
Yes, Fusilade II can be applied over pachysandra to treat for grassy weeds.
Yes, Fusilade II Herbicide is safe to be used around arborvitae as well as around liriope, indian hawthorn and limelight hydraganea. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product label.
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 will kill morning glory and will not harm azaleas when used as directed on the product label.
Fusilade II is labeled for use around iris and when used as directed should not harm them.
Fusilade II Herbicide can be safely used in a non residential tall fescue lawn to eliminate crabgrass and suppress and control bermudagrass. Keep in mind crabgrass control this time of year is particularly difficult and may require multiple applications, and bermuda will take multiple applications as well due to how well it spreads. For a residential lawn, Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide can be used to control Bermuda grass and crabgrass in fescue. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Fusilade can be used on juniper ground cover to get rid of Bermuda grass.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be applied to areas where edibles are or will be planted. Fusilade DX Herbicide is labeled for crop use.
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.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be used around edible vegetation or pumpkins.
No, Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be used on St. Augustine grass. Unfortunately Bermuda grass is so closely related to St. Augustine grass that there is nothing that will remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well. In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with Round Up and kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas
