| Abstract/Contents: | Presents research conducted to "determine a satisfactory time and method whereby minimum [crabgrass infestation] treatment could be employed." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the lawn selected for this test consisted of a mixture of Chewing's fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, Colonial, and Velvet bent which was quite uniformly and heavily infested with crabgrass." Reports that "the considerable difference between the percentage of germination of seed from the check plot and the plots that were treated shows that all treatments were beneficial in decreasing the viability of the seed that only one treatment applied during the period of seed formation was quite effective." Concludes that "the results of this study show a very substantial decrease in the percentage of germination of crabgrass seed when plants were treated at the time of seed formation with certain chemicals and commercial preparations at the rates used in this test...The materials at the rates used were also effective in helping to control dandelion, plantain, chinquefoil, chickweed, hawkweed, healall, and sorrell." |
