Assure^® has proven itself to be an effective post emergence grass herbicide on both annual as well a perennial grasses occurring in cotton.

While effective use rates fall between the 1/2 to oz. ai per acre range for most annual grasses, rhizome johnsongrass will require rates of 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 oz. and bermudagrass 2 to 3 oz. ai.
