Q

When is the best time to apply Fusilade II to a fine fescue lawn to get rid of Bermuda grass?
We have three or four spots of Bermuda grass in our lawn and we would like to eliminate them, or at least minimize them as much as possible. 1. When is the best time/times to apply Fusilade II? 2. What is the best concentration to apply for this purpose to minimize damage to the fescue, which we want? Thanks very much!

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.

Q

Do you have a herbicide that can get rid of crabgrass growing through my Asiatic jasmine?
I live in FL.

A

Snapshot 2.5 TG would be a good choice for a broad spectrum pre-emergent around Asiatic Jasmine. Fusilade II should be used if you need a broad spectrum post-emergent selective herbicide. Both of these herbicides are labeled to control crabgrass.

Over the top is not labeled for torpedo grass. Torpedo grass is an invasive grass species that is very difficult to get rid of. However, we do sell a professional version of over the top called Fusilade II which is labeled for torpedo grass and is what we recommend. It is meant for the same purpose and that is for killing grasses out of your landscaped beds. Please read the product label to make sure it is labeled for use around the type of shrubs that you have.

It also goes on to say that this type of application should not be made to home lawns though we are not sure why. The best time to apply Fusilade II to fescue for suppression of bermudagrass is in spring just as the bermudagrass is sprouting green stems. The other option for you is to spray glyphosate product such as Gly Pho-Sel Pro or Ranger Pro on the bermuda when it is green in early August, wait three weeks to see if any bermuda survives and spray again by early September if needed and then re-seed the spots with fescue in mid-September.

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. Keep in mind for herbicides the amount of water is not important. What is important is getting the correct amount of product, over the correct amount of area. Mark off 1000 sq/ft and fill your sprayer tank with only water. Spray as if you were covering the area with the herbicide. However many gallons it takes you to cover that area is how many gallons to mix the product with. Everyone's walking speed and how heavily they spray is different, which is why whether you use 2 gallons or 8 gallons of water to cover 1000 sq/ft, you are correct.
