It would depend on the type of grass you are trying to control. Per the product label: Best control of susceptible grasses is obtained when Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental Herbicide is applied to actively growing grasses before they exceed the listed growth stages shown on this label. Refer to the grass weed table for specific directions on weed growth stages outlined in Table 5 – Annual and Perennial Grass, found on page 32 of the label.
Application to grasses which have tillered, formed seed heads, or exceeded listed growth stages may require additional treatment.
Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled for 2 types of bamboo. It can be used for Heavenly Bamboo and/or Phyllostachys, Golden bamboo. This product is a systemic herbicide which will move into the rhizomes. RoundUp QuikPro is typically the recommendation for controlling bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump. Then, you will apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.
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. 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 is labeled for use around groundcover to control grassy weeds only. When used as directed it should not harm them. Please read the Fusilade II product label for complete usage instructions.

Bermudagrass is extremely difficult to eliminate and will require several applications and most likely a few seasons. When using Fusilade II Herbicide to remove bermudagrass from Tall Fescue, a Fall application and Spring application is recommended. Fall applications should done in Sept/Oct when bermudagrass is preparing for doramancy and then again in early Spring (April/May) when the bermuda is transitioning out of dormancy. The rate for eliminating bermudagrass from Tall Fescue is 5-6 fl oz per acre in no less than 30 gallons of water/acre. This breaks down to to be 0.11 to 0.13 fl oz per ½ gallon of water per 1000 sq ft
Any discoloration, slow down in growth or discoloration of Tall Fescue should recover within 2 weeks after the application. Please view page 12 of the product label for more information.

Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled to control green, yellow and giant foxtail weeds and does list over the top applications safe for red and green fountain grass with the use of a non ionic surfactant. Since the product label does not mention lomandras (mat rushes) as either controlled or safe/tolerant for over the top applications, we cannot advise if this would be safe for those applicaitons.
We would recommend testing in a small area to confirm if any issue before broadcasting completely over any desirable fountain grasses or contacting the manufacturer Syngenta directly at 866-796-4368 for confrimation.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be used around edible vegetation. If treated, blueberries should be discarded and not consumed. Please let us know what you are targeting for an alternate recommendation.

Fusilade II Herbicide is only labeled to be used on Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, and zoysia as directed, but it is not labeled for control of dallisgrass. We recommend hand pulling or digging the dallisgrass after rainfall or spot treating it with a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall Herbicide. You can then use a pre-emergent containing Dithiopyr in late winter and spring to prevent new dallisgrass. Dimension 2EW is a great choice for pre-emergent for dallisgrass.
Per the manufacturer, Fusilade II has not been tested on Kangaroo Paw, so we cannot guarantee that it would not harm the plant. If you would like to try this product, you may test it on a small area to see if it causes damage. If it does not cause damage within 14 days of the application, you may treat a larger area.
