Dismiss Herbicide

Dismiss Turf Herbicide, manufactured by FMC Professional Solutions, is a selective post-emergent herbicide for control of a variety of broadleaf weeds and sedges in healthy turf areas. 

This product is a flowable suspension concentrate containing 4 lbs of active ingredient per gallon. Dismiss herbicide's mode of action involves uptake by both weed roots and shoots.

Dismiss Herbicide attacks the surface of the weeds and goes even further, getting into the soil to penetrate the sedge tubers. This penetrating soil action helps to prevent future outbreaks of sedges.

Tools Needed

You will need a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or spray rig. We recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer for small lawn jobs or a 4-gallon backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Dismiss Herbicide you need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For warm-seasoned grass, use 0.18 to 0.275 fl. oz. of Dismiss Herbicide per 0.5 to 4 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. To treat cool-seasoned grass, mix use 0.092 to 0.18 fl. oz. of product per 0.5 to 4.0 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. If you are treating creeping bentgrass, mix 0.092 fl. oz. of product per 0.5 to 4.0 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions. 
• Step 2:  Fill your selected spray tank a 1/4th of the way with water and then add the appropriate amount of Dismiss Herbicide. Fill the sprayer the rest of the way with water, shake well, and you are ready to spray.
• Step 3: Spray target weeds until wet but not to the point of runoff. An excellent technique is to avoid side-to-side movement of the nozzle when spraying. To ensure proper application, spray the nozzle directly with no movement close to the weeds.

Where to Use

Dismiss Herbicide is for use in and around commercial and residential turf, including golf courses, lawns, sports fields, cemeteries, parks, campgrounds, recreational areas, roadsides, school grounds, and sod farms.

When to Use

Apply on mild days when wind speeds are low to minimize drift. Dismiss is best applied when turfgrasses are under minimal stress and are not weakened by weather, mechanical, chemical, disease, or other related stress.

For the most effective results against most weed species, time your application when the weeds are young and actively growing. For more extended residual control or heavier sedge populations, a second application 30 days following the first may be needed for optimum control.

Safety Information

Dismiss Herbicide is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying this product.

Do not allow people and pets to enter the treatment area until the spray has dried.

Special Considerations

The use of surfactants is not recommended with Dismiss Herbicide.
