Yes, Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled for quackgrass.
Fusilade II is labeled as safe for use around iris but will not control wild violet.
You want to apply Fusilade II Herbicide to dry foliage and when there is no rain in the forecast for 24 hours after application.
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
Yes, Fusilade II can be applied over pachysandra to treat for grassy weeds.
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.

Juniper, Burkii -Juniperus virginiana
Juniper, Excelsa Strieta -Juniperus scopulorum
Juniper, Spiny Greek -Juniperus scopulorum

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.
Fusilade can be used on juniper ground cover to get rid of Bermuda grass.
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.
Fusilade II Herbicide needs to be used within 24 hours of mixing with water
No, Fusilade II Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges (nutgrass). Sedgehammer would be a good choice if you are looking for a post emergent product for nut grass. Please take a few moments to read over the Sedgehammer product label to be sure it will be safe for your turfgrass.
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.
Depending on what you are trying to target the Fusilade II Herbicide is safe to be used on zoysia that is established whether it is actively growing or dormant. However, anything you may be trying to eliminate from the zoysia grass will likely not be affected by the Fusilade application if all of the plants are in a dormant state due to the time of year and ground temperatures. Fusilade is a post emergent herbicide and will only control grasses that are in a fully actively growing state. When you do apply the Fusilade, be sure to use a Non Ionic Surfactant for best results.
Per the Fusilade Product Label for use on Zoysiagrass:
Over-spray Zoysia: Application should be made at a rate of 3-4 fl oz/A with Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental Herbicide, and a nonionic surfactant. Applications should be made in late spring (around June 1) and repeated about every 28-30 days. Latesummer application can be reduced to 2-3 fl oz/A as bermudagrass is preparing for dormancy. During hot summer weather the rates could be increased to 4-5 fl oz/A. Note: The 5 fl oz rate could cause temporary turf discoloration.
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 II Herbicide should not be used on desirable turf as a broadcast spray. You can do a spot treatment in your lawn only. The mixing ratio is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. It is also recommended that you use a surfactact, such as the Non-Ionic Surfactant. The mixing ratio for that is 1/2 fl oz.
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.
