SpeedZone Southern is not labeled to treat dallisgrass. Dismiss NXT Herbicide is labeled to suppress dallisgrass, meaning that you will need multiple applications and/or other cultural or chemical treatments to completely eradicate the weed. Dallisgrass is a weed that is notoriously difficult to eradicate quickly once it is established. We would also recommend you use Dimension 2EW as a pre-emergent for dallisgrass.
Apply Dismiss NXT Herbicide at the rate of 0.117 to 0.350 fl oz./1,000 sq. ft. in however much water it takes you to cover the area. You may need to retreat 4 weeks after the first treatment
Post-emergent herbicides are not recommended to be used in a hose end sprayer because those sprayers are not accurate enough to apply the correct amount of SpeedZone Southern Herbicide. You will need to use a hand pump sprayer and uniformly spray the product over the specified area. To decide how much water you want to use, you should mark a 1,000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix of product with for each 1,000 sq ft area that needs to be treated. The rate you would then use depends on your lawn type, please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
Speedzone Southern Herbicide is safe to use on bermudagrass, so it will not kill it.
A better option is Fertilome Over the Top II. It is labeled to kill bermudagrass and can be used over flowers, listed shrubs, etc. We would also recommend using a surfactant with the product as well.
Per the SpeedZone Southern product label ornamentals may be harmed by drift or direct spraying of the product. It would be best not to apply to the rose bush.
Since SpeedZone Southern Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide you can use it any time there are actively growing weeds in accordance with the product label without having it affect your pre-emergent application. You would not use if you do not have any existing weeds that you need to kill. Be sure your turfgrass is well-established and not under stress from drought or heat when using any post-emergents.
The application of any herbicide can stress your desirable turf. Since mowing also stressed the turf and weeds, it is best to wait at least 2 days after mowing to apply Speedzone Southern Herbicide or any other similar products so that both the target weeds and the desirable turf will behave desirably to the application. Healthier turf is less likely to be damaged, and weeds that are not under stress from mowing (or drought, etc.) will accept herbicides more readily.
SpeedZone Southern is not labeled to control stinging nettle, because of the way the plant grows there really isn't anything labeled for it. Stinging nettle is typically best removed by hand, taking care to protect skin with gloves and other appropriate attire. Be sure to completely remove the underground rhizomes or it will continue to come back. Close mowing or weed whacking can retard growth as well.
While we do not have a product labeled for stinging nettle we do carry Gallery which has an active ingredient, Isoxaben, that has been shown to be effect.
