Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "understanding the association of weed species to the soil environment could help [superintendents] identify an underlying soil problem." States that "the presence of a specific weed species is not proof, however, that the associated soil condition exists at that site." Discusses cultural practices that may have an impact on "on weed species composition." States that "soil fertility may impact weed species composition." Also suggests scouting "for summer annual and most perennial [weed species] in late summer or fall when these species are in flowers." Concludes that "addressing...soil problems through actions such as limiting, aeration and pruning trees to increase sun penetration can lead to an improved weed management program." |
