Excellent weed control
By Jacob on 08/01/2024
I manage a commercial landscape company that specializes in high-end residential properties. Recognition has been a staple in our herbicide rotation and selection for weed control. Combine this herbicide with Fusilade II for excellent Bermuda grass control in St. Augustine Grass and Zoysia Grass. It works very well on Crabgrass, Dallisgrass, and others as well. It can be combined with other herbicides as well to have very effective control.

Bermuda Grass Control
By Darwin on 04/16/2025
For those like me that hate bermuda grass invading their St. Augustine (or Zoysia) lawn this is the answer. Recognition mixed at the rate of .85 grams per gallon with Fusilade II at the rate of.55 fl oz per gallon, your bermuda grass will die within weeks. I actually saw great results in one week with no harm to my St. Augustine. I'm pretty sure this will be an annual treatment but worth it in my opinion. Be sure to use a surfactant.

Finally! Zoysia lawn free of bermuda!
By Erik on 06/11/2025
After 10+ years of trying all the usual methods (including the turflon/fusillade approach) to getting my neighbor's lousy common bermuda from invading my Zoysia lawn, Recognition + Fusillade II is the first combo that absolutely knocked it out on the first try. It was slow acting, but by the 20 day mark, all the bermuda throughout the lawn (and there was even more than I thought) was yellow, white, and my Zoysia was already moving in an taking back over. This stuff is the real deal.

I have a residential St. Augustine lawn and showing some Torpedo grass or TropicalSignal Grass in spots. Would like to spot kill the invasive weed. Is Recognition a recommended product or is there another effective method to rid the lawn of this weed?
