Selective Post-Emergent Control of Bermudagrass & Grassy Weeds

Professional-grade grass weed control that won’t harm ornamental plants.

Fusilade® II Turf and Ornamental Herbicide is a selective, systemic post-emergent herbicide designed to control annual and perennial grassy weeds without injuring labeled broadleaf ornamentals. It is especially effective for suppressing and removing Bermudagrass from tall fescue and zoysiagrass turf, making it a go-to solution for overseed transition and turf correction programs.

Absorbed quickly through leaf tissue, Fusilade II moves throughout the plant to the shoots, roots, rhizomes, and stolons—stopping growth within days and delivering visible yellowing and decline within 7–14 days.
