Fusilade II is a selective herbicide for application over flowers, bushes and ornamentals that kills grass and grassy weeds in your flower bed and ornamental planting areas. You should mix a surfactant with it. It typically takes 2 weeks to see results after application.
We will need to know what kind of broadleaf weed you are dealing with so we can recommend the correct product for that need. If you need help identifying the weeds you can call your local cooperative extension office and ask to speak to the master gardener on staff and he/she should be able to help you make the identification and in most cases even recommend the best product for the job. Below you will find a link to help you find your local cooperative extension office:
Fusilade will not kill sedges. Grass out will kill canary grass. We really need to know where you would be applying the herbicide to ensure the product will not harm your grass. What tyoe of turf grass so you have?
The studies done on Panic-Veldt using Fusillade have shown to be inconclusive, therefore it is not listed on the label. Using a glyphosate product (Roundup) applied as a foliar spray at 2 percent concentration with added surfactant was shown to be effective against Panic-Veldt. Using a product named Roundup QuickPRO will give you both treatments in one. QuickPRO has two active ingredients: 73.3% glyphosate and 2.9% diquat. The addition of diquat, along with the surfactant, gives you even faster burndown. It controls broadleaf and grass weeds, or woody brush and trees - roots and all.
Using a chemical method along with chemical treatment, will help with control unless you are able to to identify where this weeds originates. Regardless of the method used, more than one year of treatment will be necessary, due to its extensive seedbank, the persistence of which is unknown.

Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental herbicide is a selective post-emergent herbicide that controls a long list of perennial and annual grass weeds in turf and landscaped areas without damaging ornamentals. Since Brambles are considered a prickly shrub, Fusilade will not harm them. Fusilade II is fast and effective and it can be applied as a spot treatment or an over the top application without damaging ornamental plants. It can also be used to remove bermuda grass from tall fescue and zoysia grass when used at reduced rates. Fusilade II can stand up to rain after only 1 hour of application.
The Fusilade II label does not specifically list this type of juniper on the label as having been tested as safe to apply to. However, it does list the following types of juniper which may help you to determine if it is a similar species:
Fusilade II Herbicide states on the product label: For established turf, do not reseed desirable grasses to treated areas for 14 days following the application. For bare ground areas which have been treated, wait 30 days to reseed.
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.
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.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be used on buffalo grass and may be harmful if applied.
No, Fusilade II Herbicide is a grass killer and will not harm broadleaf weeds.
