Fusilade II Herbicide
Fusilade II Herbicide
Fusilade II Herbicide is produced by Syngenta and is a post-emergent, selective herbicide designed to keep turf and ornamental areas free of perennial and annual grassy weeds. Fusilade II uses the active ingredient Fluazifop to provide quick results without harming ornamentals, shrubs, and plants. It is a systemic herbicide and soaks into the leafy tissue of the plant, killing it as it moves to the roots. When used according to the label, it can eliminate bermudagrass from tall fescue and zoysiagrass. Fusilade II is ideal for golf courses and residential areas to keep them weed-free.
Tools Needed
To apply Fusilade II, you will need a backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or professional skid sprayer. We recommend using a handheld pump sprayer for spot treatments and average residential lawn applications.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine the square footage of the treatment area in order to calculate how much Fusilade II you will need. You can do this by multiplying the length and width of the target area (length x width = square footage). For landscape and ornamentals, 0.4 to 0.6 fl. oz. of Fusilade II in 1 gallon of water can treat 1,000 sq. ft. oz of Fusilade per gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. For example, if your treatment area measures 3,000 sq. ft., you will need to mix between 1.2 to 1.8 fl. oz. in 3 gallons of water.
- Step 2: For general purpose applications made with a handheld pump sprayer, begin by filling the sprayer with a 1/2 gallon of water. Depending on the severity of the targeted plants that needed eliminating, add 0.4 to 0.6 oz per gallon of Fusilade II to the spray tank. For spraying only ornamentals, you should also add a nonionic surfactant at a rate of 1/2 a pt per 25 gallons. Fill the sprayer the rest of the way with water and mix well by shaking the spray tank and you're ready to apply.
- Step 3: Apply the Fusilade II mixture to lawn and ornamental areas that are listed on the label. Spray to wet but not to the point of runoff. Use a fan spray pattern to get even coverage.
Where to Use
Fusilade II can be applied to turfs, lawns, landscapes, ornamental beds, non-crop areas, roadsides, residential and non-residential areas. It is ideal for use on golf courses, nurseries, greenhouses, parks, sports fields, and more. When non-ionic surfactants are added to Fusilade II, it can only be applied to ornamentals.
When to Use
It is best to apply Fusilade II to areas that need treatment when the unwanted vegetation is young and healthy and before they reach growth stages listed on the label. Fusilade II can be applied at least 1 hour before rainfall and still remain effective. Application to grass weeds which are stressed due to moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury may lead to ineffective or reduced weed control.
Safety Information
Fusilade II is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying Fusilade II.
Special Considerations
Fusilade II can be applied to various types of ornamental plants. Before applying, read the product label to make sure plants are on the label to avoid damage.

Q:What is the best time of year to treat bermuda grass in the lawn? In the Spring once bermuda has started to green?2/20/23A:According to the Fusilade II Herbicide product label, you will need to directly spray desired weeds in your Bermudagrass lawn when it is breaking out of its dormancy and when the weather is warm. Usually this can be shown when it starts to turn green, which could be April or May. It would be best to treat at the beginning of the year during these months to fight against weeds before they become established.
