This was suggested for killing couch grass over on GE. Info I have found seems to indicate that it has a low toxicity and will not harm other (broadleaf) plants around it. Anyone hear know about it and would they recommend it or not? I am not keen on chemicals but if it works…

nah, haven’t used it… sorry

best couchgrass remover we have is chooks…they dig it out totally

if you are going to contemplate using Fusilade on couch..

read this:

PERENNIAL GRASS WEEDS

Perennial grasses should be treated when growing actively. Spray young vegetative growth once it has sufficient leaf area to ensure good coverage and uptake of Fusilade – three to six leaves per shoot.

Perennial weeds growing from seed are easier to control. Established perennial grasses have many dormant buds on their underground rhizomes. Better long-term control of grass weeds will be achieved if these buds are activated before spraying.

Use SpraySeed® to eradicate existing growth and stimulate dormant buds of perennial grasses in orchards and vineyards.

Use Tryquat® to eradicate existing growth and stimulate dormant buds before sowing vegetables.

Perennial grass weeds that are reestablishing from fragmentation or desiccation should be treated when each new shoot has 3 to 6 leaves and is less than 2 months old.

Couch and Tomatoes don’t get along. Tomatoes planted on couch will eventually out compete couch. Put a mobile chook pen on between tomato crops.

Couch is easily dug with a knife.

glyphosate painted on with a paintbrush.. beats having to use three or four chemicals just to make the fusilade work.
