Dismiss is characterized by which of the following?

Dismiss is characterized by which of the following?

• A. Quick initial knockdown but repeat applications needed for control.
• B. Long residual control lasting months.
• C. Only works on sedges.
• D. Non-selective and kills all plant tissue.

Answer: (A)

Dismiss acts quickly on sedges in turf, causing fast knockdown of visible growth. But it doesn’t leave a long-lasting residual in the soil, so new sedge sprouts or untreated patches can regrow. To maintain season-long control, follow-up applications are usually required. It’s a selective herbicide for turf and sedges, not a non-selective, all-tungi-kill product, and it’s not limited to a single sedge issue—the emphasis is on rapid initial control with repeated treatments to sustain suppression.
