Fusilade II Herbicide should not be used on desirable turf as a broadcast spray. You can do a spot treatment in your lawn only. The mixing ratio is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. It is also recommended that you use a surfactact, such as the Non-Ionic Surfactant. The mixing ratio for that is 1/2 fl oz.
The time it takes Fusilade II to kill weeds depends on a few different variables such as the specific weed you are targeting, the outside temperature, as well as the ground temperature. It can take up to 2 weeks to see full results. Any time you are using a post-emergent herbicide, including ones like Fusilade, the weeds or grasses you are targeting must be in an actively growing state and soil temps need to be above 65 degrees and below 85 degrees consistently for you to see maximum results.
Methylated Seed Oil would not be recommended to use as a surfactant with Fusilade II Herbicide. A non ionic surfactant is recommended per the product label.
You can mix Fusilade II Herbicide with other herbicides such as RoundUp Custom. You should use a non-ionic surfactant with these herbicides for best results. Be sure that you are following the more restrictive labeling that pertains to your application needs.
