Customer Reviews for Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide

I have used this product with somewhat mixed success. As mentioned on label, it suppresses, but does not control bermuda. Suppression lasts anywhere from 3 months to 2 years. As commercial applicator, I have just begun using it on crabgrass. It seems to work a bit more consistently than Quinchlorac (Drive) based formulations and has less frequent side effect to fescue. For those of you who are not getting results from this product, note that a non ionic surfactant is listed for sale along with Acclaim. Use it. You might also go over how carefully you measured and applied product to lawn area. I figure application of 2 gallons of spray to 1000 sq ft. area at labeled rates. If you don't apply product at labeled rates and 2 gal/1000, it is not likely to work.

Acclaim extra works Great. A little pricey but it does the job. I would indeed purchase this product again. Very Satisfied Customer.

Good stuff - takes out Japanese Stiltgrass without killing good Lawn/grass. Expensive and takes a while to work, but very effective! Worth the expense!

I cannot give Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide 5 stars because I'm reserving that for when they invent a magic bullet that kills bermuda grass dead without hurting fescue. But since Acclaim Extra does provide a tool for controlling (not killing) bermuda grass without killing my fescue, it does receive a good rating of 4 stars. About one spraying a month during warm weather keeps the bermuda grass sickly enough so it doesn't take over. Then comes cool weather and fescue can once again defend itself (about late September in east Tennessee).

before shelling out the high price for this product, I read all the reviews, many of which said they saw results "in a week or so". Well, ten days after by-the-book application (and i would recommend the blue dye and the surfactant as add ins), I saw almost nothing. Then, it started turning brown and at a full two weeks in, i was convinced it was working. I'm now threee weeks in and it has worked well - I might need another application in certain areas, but then my application might not have been totally thorough. So, I am a fan. Stiltgrass was overrunning my lawn and this is the ONLY thing that targets it.

I use Acclaim to target the Japanese Stiltgrass in my cool season turfgrass. It is effective but expensive.

Fenoxaprop (active ingredient in this herbicide) was recommended by Rutgers Ag. Extension. It killed the Japanese Stiltgrass and some of the crabgrass in my lawn (it took a while to actually brown up). The product was shipped promptly after my order.
