The studies done on Panic-Veldt using Fusillade have shown to be inconclusive, therefore it is not listed on the label. Using a glyphosate product (Roundup) applied as a foliar spray at 2 percent concentration with added surfactant was shown to be effective against Panic-Veldt. Using a product named Roundup QuickPRO will give you both treatments in one. QuickPRO has two active ingredients: 73.3% glyphosate and 2.9% diquat. The addition of diquat, along with the surfactant, gives you even faster burndown. It controls broadleaf and grass weeds, or woody brush and trees - roots and all.
Using a chemical method along with chemical treatment, will help with control unless you are able to to identify where this weeds originates. Regardless of the method used, more than one year of treatment will be necessary, due to its extensive seedbank, the persistence of which is unknown.

Fusilade II is a selective herbicide for application over flowers, bushes and ornamentals that kills grass and grassy weeds in your flower bed and ornamental planting areas. You should mix a surfactant with it. It typically takes 2 weeks to see results after application.
We will need to know what kind of broadleaf weed you are dealing with so we can recommend the correct product for that need. If you need help identifying the weeds you can call your local cooperative extension office and ask to speak to the master gardener on staff and he/she should be able to help you make the identification and in most cases even recommend the best product for the job. Below you will find a link to help you find your local cooperative extension office:

As long as you are following the most restrictive instructions of the products, and you conduct a small jar test first for compatibility.

Fusilade II Herbicide is known to injure or kill St. Augustine turfgrasses since it is not labeled as a tolerant turfgrass. Fusilade II Herbicide can be used on healthy Zoysia turfgrass that is not under any stress from insects, disease, drought, oversaturation, etc.
For Overspray of Zoysia: Apply at the rate of 3 – 4 fl oz/A along with a non ionic surfactant Applications should be made in late spring and a follow up application 28 days later. Please review the full product label HERE for more information.
Bermuda can be suppressed, but it is very difficult to kill completely. It will take multiple treatments to finally kill it. Fusilade II is applied at 0.07-0.14 oz/1,000 sq. ft. (3-6 oz./A) along with 0.25% v/v (1/2 pt./25 gals.) of a nonionic surfactant and 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. We also recommend calling your local county extension office as they usually know the optimum times for spraying lawns in your area.
