Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress the weeds listed on the label when applied alone shortly after weeds have emerged. Apply Dismiss Turf Herbicide at rates from 4 to 12 fl. oz/acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Do not exceed the application rate specified for the turfgrass species on the label. To broaden the weed spectrum and increase effectiveness for certain weeds listed on the label, Dismiss Turf Herbicide may be tank mixed with other EPA registered post-emergent herbicides. Read and follow the Tank Mixtures Compatibility section of this label to determine compatibility of tank mixtures. Read the label recommendations of the tank mix partner to determine turfgrass species safety, use rate and application procedures. Follow all label restrictions, use directions and precautionary statements before using these tank mixtures. Control of emerged annual grass weeds may be improved by combining Dismiss Turf Herbicide with other registered post emergence herbicides.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress sedges listed on the label when applied at a rate of 4 to 12 fl. oz./acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Apply the highest rate consistent with the rate needed for turfgrass safety on the label. Rates lower than 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will generally control sedges for at least 60 days. A rate of 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will provide approximately 75% control for at least 60 days.
Purple Nutsedge; For optimum control of purple nutsedge, split applications are recommended. Apply 4-8 ounces per acre as an initial application followed by a second application when evidence of actively growing purple nutsedgeis visible. Do not exceed the maximum rate per acre based on turfgrass variety listed on the label - Tolerant grasses.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide will control or suppress specific annual grasses listed on the label when applied at a rate of 4 to 12 fl. oz./acre (0.092 to 0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.). Apply the highest rate consistent with the rate needed for turfgrass tolerance listed on the label. Rates lower than 12 fl. oz./acre (0.275 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) will generally control grasses for at least 60 days. Dismiss Turf Herbicide works best if applied when the annual grasses are small (pre tiller stage) and actively growing.
Good spray coverage is needed for optimum control of grasses. Temporary discoloration of some turfgrass species may result from use of surfactant. Use of surfactants is not recommended.
Apply as a directed spray toward the base of the plant. Do not spray over-the-top. Dismiss Turf Herbicide is most effective when applied to soil free of clods and debris such as leaves or mulch. When applied as a pre-emergent, the treated area should receive at least 0.25 inches of irrigation or rainfall after application for the greatest efficacy.
The addition of liquid fertilizers can increase the probability of superficial damage to green plant tissue inadvertently treated if applied with Dismiss Turf Herbicide.
Worked great!!
By Mike on 05/09/2012
Dismiss worked great using a portable sprayer. I mixed the solution at a rate of .275 oz per gallon. This mixture was applied to many sections of my yard where weeds were growing mixed in with grass. The treatment was applied around a temperature of 90F degrees. I do not recommend applying at temperatures above 90F. Some weeds got weak in 24 hours and most showed signs of damage by 48 hours. For some weeds it took 1 week for the real effect to show up. My St. Augustine grass showed no signs it had been treated at all. The weeds died but the grass was unaffected. After treatment the grass has really started to take off. The product comes with a add on filler tube, similar to pest control mixtures, where you can accurately and safely measure the amount of product being added to your mixer. Be sure to shake up your sprayer every 10 minutes to ensure the mixture stays consistent. I applied the mixture to the yard in more of a spot treatment process than covering the whole yard. Why spray weed free grasses that are not the target? The treated section should just get wet. There is NO need to soak the ground. This product is a contact product so the roots are not the target, it is the plant above ground. Best effect was on nutsedge. Showed significant yellowing and weakness quickly. Worst effect was some form of clover. It took 2-3 weeks to show signs it was dying. We have about 15 varieties of weeds in our yard and this product killed them all. It did take a second treatment on the crab grass to fully kill it. The cost of this product seems high, but it will save you hundreds versus yard spraying service people. I decided to use my pest control experience on my yard after some clown showed up and killed most of our yard with improperly applied chemicals. Do yourself a favor and fire your yard service before they kill your lawn and leave you with just weeds. Do it yourself when you want to, how you want to, and save money in the process!

WOW!
By Gary on 07/30/2011
Went to my local flower seller. They sold me "Sedge Hammer." Required a product to help it stick to the plant. Between the two products: $35.00. Did an experiment: while not scientific, it told me what I needed to know. I sprayed one side of my driveway with "Dismiss," and the other side with the local product. It was amazing! Following the instructions to a 'T' on both products, the Dismiss side was dead and withered within 4 days. The local product showed no change. After two weeks, the local product made the sedge plants look sick-yet still green and present in my yard. I am sold on Dismiss for a rapid removal of this pest. I have been trying to rid the lawn in these areas for years. I now think I have the answer: Dismiss. Worth every penny.

Review of Dismiss Aug 2011
By Dr. on 09/09/2011
Had been using Sedgehammer on Yellow Nutsedge for couple of years (with surfactant); was generally successful but took several weeks to show effect. Sometimes did not work; perhaps because I occasionally held unused quantities over for several days, then using the remaining portion?; or maybe not. Blogs note Sedgehammer must be used within 4 hrs of mixing or it loses effectiveness. Seeking more responsive control, tried Dismiss, using only as a spot spray at .0275 per 1.5 gallon water. Killing effect seen in 48 hrs. Discoloration of grass seen in sprayed area(s), but this disappeared within 7-10 days. I will reduce dose in future to see if discoloration persists.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide
By Vicki on 09/13/2011
Our lawn guy recommended this product. He charges almost $200 for one application. I purchased the product myself, and he told me the mix ratio and I applied to my lawn myself in a 1 gallon pump sprayer. The stuff works...just make sure you apply enough on the areas. I missed some spots, so I need to re-apply. But where I did do a good job of applying...no more nut sedge weeds. I recommended your site to a co-worker so he could purchase some for his lawn.

Dismiss - It really works
By Jim on 08/01/2011
I hate nutsedge and have tried everything to get rid of it, even using RoundUp which killed my entire back yard. I have been on hand and knees with a water color brush painting it with Roundup. I have used Sedge Hammer which was fair. Now I am delighted to report that Dismiss actually works! I am thrilled. Nutsedge loves this dry hot weather and I have practically eliminated it (I missed some with my spraying). I am telling all my friends and neighbors. Expensive, but well worth it.

If not, what can I use?
Dismiss Turf is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it CANNOT be used in or near a vegetable garden or anything edible. The main product used for weeds in a vegetable garden is a RoundUp type product, like our RoundUp QuickPro product. RoundUp Professional products do not leave a residual in the soil that could possibly be soaked up by the roots of your garden. Of course you do not want to get the RoundUp on any plants you want to keep. You should only direct it at the weeds you want to eliminate.

I have a terrible nutsedge problem in grass that's dying and an empty flowerbed. How long after treatment do I need to wait to pull up the grass and plant new grass and how long do I need to wait to plant in the flower bed? Also how close by to plants can I get to safely spray with this (i.e. 1ft/2ft from a plant) without it impacting the plant?

I applied Dismiss at .18 ounces using a Ryobi battery operated sprayer to Star of Bethlehem which is about a foot tall. I haven't seen any results. Do you think it's due to the type of sprayer? A gallon of water with .18 ounces covered about 500 square feet so it was even over the recommended quantity. It's been several days since I sprayed and it all looks the same. I have a major infestation in the yard.
Dismiss Turf? is absorbed through the foliage and into the root system. It will kill the root of Star of Bethlehem. According to the Dismiss Turf product label, you can reapply the Dismiss 35 days after the first application to ensure no harm to your lawn and acheive better control of the hearty weeds in the lawn. However, you want to be sure that you are applying your products at the optimal time for the weeds you are targeting. If not, the product will only supress the Star of Bethlehem and not get rid of it entirely.

Dismiss Turf Herbicide is a great wide range post emergent herbicide that will control lespedeza as well as clover, nutsedge, spurge, and many more. Dismiss is safe to use on Centipede lawns and is used at a rate of 0.18 - 0.275 oz per 1000 sq/ft in 1-2 gallons of water. You can prevent lespedeza and other grassy and broadleaf weeds by applying a pre emergent like Dimension 2EW to your lawn fall and spring of each year before weeds germinate.
You should delay your application of Dismiss Turf Herbicide or other herbicide until at least 2-3 days after you mow. This will help your turfgrass to recover from the stress of mowing as well as allow time for some new growth on the target weeds so there is more foliage to absorb the herbicide.
for Cool grass fescue
Dismiss Turf Herbicide comes in a bottle that contains 6.0 ounces of concentrate, which will cover 0.5 to 1.25 acres, depending on the weeds you are treating and the turf. Many professional herbicides will come in a size that will cover an average of one Acre (43,560 sq ft). It is important to keep in mind that your water is just a carrier, and how much water is needed to get uniform coverage will vary with your equipment and the speed at which it is moving. Therefore, it is hard to estimate exactly how many gallons of water will be used when you are covering a large area. You can break down the rate of 4-12 ounces per Acre to 0.092 to 0.275 ounces per 1,000 square feet, using adequate water to get thorough coverage of the area using your equipment.

You can use Dismiss Turf Herbicide on Bermudagrass and hybrid Bermudagrass for control of nutsedge and other listed weeds. Be sure to follow the rates and other precautions on the full product label.
For smaller lawns, Sedgehammer + is another option.
I live in Jacksonville FL. The lot is small (125'x50'), and has St. Augustine grass with typical broad leaf and grass weeds, including the pesky NUTSEDGE. Atrazine works well but nutsedge is a problem.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide is formulated for cool and warm season turf as directed on the product label. It is safe to use on St Augustine.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide is made to control nutsedge and other listed weeds in turfgrass but it is not labeled for use on landscape ornamentals. When treating for nutsedge around ornamentals, most of the time you will have to spot treat where the sedge is coming up with a glyphosate product like RoundUp QuikPro.
