   Anyone have experience spraying dismiss on bentgrass greens for postemerge control of goosegrass?
   What rate was used?

   That sounds like risky business to me. Is it too much to hand remove? You'd be amazed what 3-4 guys can do in an afternoon

   I would have to agree with that heat herbicide and bentgrass = problems. A few guys with sharp knives can do wonders with little damage.

   We get burn from using Dimiss on Bermuda rough. I bet it would smoke Bent greens pretty good.

   Do not broadcast spray Dismiss on bentgrass greens. I have seen dismiss hurt bent fairways pretty bad. The Dismiss does hurt the goosegrass but it does not kill it.

   I burned some spots in bermuda collars that stuff is pretty hot. Perhaps mix very light rate in a hand spray bottle and use multiple apps. I have done this for sedges with monument in the collars and had great results. Try it somewhere inconspicuous though...

   Never tried Dismiss but I have had success with Illoxan on bent. I actually broadcast sprayed 2 greens today that have goose popping throughout. My staff size is very limited (5 guys) and arent able to stay up with knifing out. I sprayed at .75 oz/1000 no sticker or anything. Have previously used hand-held sprayers on edges and bad areas with little to no affect on the bent. Still nervous about it but i will let you know of the results.

   We have used it for kyllinga on A-1 greens @ .092oz/m with absolutely no issues. Works great! I dont know about the rates and efficacy for goose though.
