| Abstract/Contents: | "Non-chemical weed control ideally provides an alternative means of weed control for situations where a suitable chemical control does not exists, or where environmental concerns limit the use of herbicides. Biological weed control is typically achieved by inoculating with a plant pathogen that is specific for a weed species. Both fungal and bacterial plant pathogens exist, and in some instances pathogenic proteins are used for weed control. Xanthomonas campestris, a bacterium, has to date been the most promising commercial bioweed control agent in turf. Varying levels of success have occurred for postemergence annual bluegrass (Poa annua) control with this bacterium. However, inconsistent results with Xanthomonas campestris has been observed due to the pathogenic microbe's extreme sensitivity to changes in their environments. "Bioherbicides" can be expanded to include almost any means of weed control excluding synthetic pesticides. For example, success as a preemergence herbicide for annual grass control has been achieved with corn gluten. In some instances, rock salt (sodium chloride) is selectively applied for weed control in salt-tolerant turfgrasses such as seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) as are isothicyanate extracts from members of the Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae) Mustard family. The emergence of biotechnology such as genetically modified organisms has enormous potential to increase the success in the bio control arena. Research continues, albeit, at a conservative pace, in this field to optimize the potential of bio control of weeds in turf." |
