Certainty® is a selective, post-emergent herbicide designed specifically for use in established warm-season turf. It targets some of the most difficult-to-control weeds — including nutsedge and unwanted cool-season grasses — without harming desirable warm-season turf when applied properly.
Ideal for homeowners and professionals managing Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and other warm-season lawns.
