Abstract/Contents:"The first study was conducted on a mature mixed stand of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and fine fescue (Festuca spp.) on a home lawn in Julian, Pa. The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of broadleaf weed herbicides for the control of ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea). The study was a randomized complete block design with three replications. All of the treatments were applied on June 10, 2002 using a three foot CO2 powered boom sprayer calibrated to deliver 40 gpa using two, flat fan, 11004 nozzles at 40 psi. Ratings were taken on June 10, July 8, August 5, 2002, June 16, 2003, and June 4, 2004. Each plot was rated for ground ivy cover prior to treatment. Sprayed formulations provided better control than granular materials. Speed Zone, Drive plus 2,4-D and MSO, Confront and Trimec Classic tended to provide the best and most lasting control of ground ivy. On June 16, 2003 Lebanon Turf Herbicide 0.68G at 157 lbs/A, Speed Zone at 3pt/A, and Power Zone at 3.5 pt/A provided less than 45 percent control of ground ivy. On the final rating date, June 4, 2004, almost two years after the single application of materials, the ground ivy population increased on most of the treated plots and the untreated plots. But, there was still greater than 55% reduction of ground ivy following the application of Drive plus 2,4-D plus MSO, Power Zone, Confront and Trimec Classic. The second study was conducted on a mature mixed stand of perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and fine fescue on the same home lawn in Julian, Pa. The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy broadleaf weed herbicides for the control of ground ivy. The study was a randomized complete block design with three replications. All of the treatments were applied on June 25, 2003 using a three foot CO2 powered boom sprayer calibrated to deliver 40 gpa using two, flat fan, 11004 nozzles at 40 psi. Ratings were taken on Aug 25, 2003 and June 4, 2004. Each plot was rated for ground ivy cover on June 25 prior to treatment. All of the treatments, except Quicksilver provided excellent control of ground ivy (>90%) on the first rating date August 25, 2003. By the last rating date, June 4, 2004, almost one year after treatment application, almost no control of ground ivy was observed."
