Tank-mix combo to control late goosegrass

Late-season goosegrass control can be effectively achieved with a tank mix of Dismiss and Revolver herbicides, recent research shows. The 2009 study tested several different tank-mix combinations to control goosegrass at the one- to four-tiller stage in warm-season turfgrass. A study conducted by Dr. Fred Yelverton at North Carolina State evaluated Dismiss turf herbicide applied alone and in combinations for goosegrass control at the one- to four-tiller stage. Best results were achieved with a postemergence combination of Dismiss at the 8-oz. per acre rate and Revolver at the 17-oz. per acre rate.


“This combination highlights the benefits of both Dismiss and Revolver,” said Yelverton. “Turf managers get the fast visual response of Dismiss, which disrupts the cell walls inside the goosegrass plant, and the long-term control of Revolver. In addition, the results are achieved with lower rates of both products.”
