Abstract/Contents: | "During 1985 and 1986 four field experiments were conducted in order to compare the efficacy of amine and ester formulations of 2,4-D and 2,4-DP on broadleaf weeds in cool season turf. Weed species present in the experiments included prostrate knotweed (Polygonum avicular L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.), broadleaf plantain (Plantago major L.), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber in Wiggins) and mousear chickweed (Cerastium vulgatum L.). The amine and ester formulations of the combination of 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-D + 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-DP gave excellent control of white clover, broadleaf plantain, dandelion,and mousear chickweed but only fair (75-80%) control of prostrate knotweed. The 0.84 + 0.84 kg/ha rate of these combinations had a slight reduction in white clover control but were excellent on broadleaf plantain, dandelion, and mousear chickweed. Increasing the rate of the amine combination to 1.68 kg/ha 2,4-D + 1.68 kg/ha 2,4-DP did not appreciably improve prostrate knotweed control. The treatments of 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-D amine + 0.11 kg/ha dicamba, 1.12 kg/ha 2.4-D ester + 0.56 kg/ha triclopyr and 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-D ester + 0.56 mecoprop + 0.11 kg/ha dicamba provided good control of prostrate knotweed and excellent control of the other weed species. The addition of 0.25, 0.5 or 1 kg/ha of bromoxynil to the amine combination of 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-D + 1.12 kg/ha 2,4-DP did not improve efficacy. The higher rates of bromoxynil caused a rapid necrosis of leaf tissue which appeared to reduce translocation of the phenoxy herbicides to the weed's root system. As a result, many weeds resprouted within four weeks of herbicide applicaitona. No turf phytotoxicity was observed with any of the treatments evaluated in the studies." |
