| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential difficulties controlling weeds during tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass establishment. States that "many herbicides normally considered safe on fully established stands of both grasses can be detrimental to newly developing seedlings...[and] failure to control weeds from the onset can out-compete developing seedlings and devastate stand development." Details cultural practices that may help control weeds, stating that "the competitive advantage in a developing turfgrass stand can be shifted easily from the developing seedlings to the developing weeds...[by getting] the seeding rate right." Reports that "improper fertilization timing and rates can shift the competitive advantage from the turf to the weeds. Fertilization at seeding should focus mainly on phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and the micronutrients." Mentions chemicals that may help control weeds, including Tupersan, QuickSilver, and Drive. Briefly discusses research conducted to "evaluate these three herbicides for their injury to tall fescue and control of various weed species." Results indicate that "for spring seeding, Tupersan or Drive must be used during the establishment phase; otherwise, the amount of desirable turfgrass cover will be unacceptable by the end of the summer." |
