    Q

    We need to kill torpedo grass, but have woody plants in the area. As such, will Fusilade harm Knockout roses, Crape Myrtle, or Camelia Japonica?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide is safe to use over crepe myrtle, camelia, and many types of roses when used according to the product label. Be careful only to use a non-ionic surfactant and not a crop oil concentrate when applying Fusilade over the top of ornamentals.

    Q
    I want kill Bermuda in el toro zoysia. Am I to apply more than once, and how long between applications?
    The directions look to be a mix of 2.5 oz to 3.0 oz per acre and add a surfactant, but not sure of amount. Also, it is suggested to apply about June 1st. I live in Bakersfield, CA. Am I to apply more than once, and how long between applications?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide can be used to remove Bermuda grass from zoysia grass when used at reduced rates. Applications should be made around June 1st per 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.

    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.

    Usage chart for spot treatments:

    1 gallon water  +   .75 fl oz of Fusilade  +   .5 oz surfactant

    10 gallons water   +   6.5 fl oz Fusilade   +   3 oz surfactant

    25 gallons water   +   1 pint Fusilade  +   .5 pint surfactant

    50 gallon water   +    1 qt Fusilade   +   1 pint surfactant

    Q
    Do I need to use a surfactant if I use Fusilade?
    I live in Utah, and have lots of grass growing in and amongst many expensive plants, ground covers, etc. Must I use a surfactant, or can I just mix Fusilade with water and spray, also, what amount of Fusilade should I use per gallon?
    A
    Fusilade Herbicide can be mixed with a surfactant such as Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides to help the product work more effectively and it is recommended by the manufacturer.

    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 discoloration 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.

    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.

    Q
    Is mixing of Fusilade II with Speedzone allowed for a single backpack spraying?
    A

    Fusilade II Herbicide can only be tank mixed with other herbicides that would also require a surfactant.  Speedzone does not mention needing one and most state that adding one can reduce selectivity on turfgrass. Be sure that you are following the most restrictive product labeling.
