Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "determine the phytotoxicity to creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass as well as efficacy of these compounds to control creeping bentgrass." States that "phytotoxicity and control evaluations were conducted on a stand of mature 'Midnight' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera)." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the study was a randomized complete block design with three replications...The test site was mowed at one and one half inches twice weekly with a rotary mower with clippings returned to the site." Reports that "turfgrass phytotoxicity was rated two times...There was no turfgrass phytotoxicity on these two rating dates ([August] 26 and 31, 2004). Creeping bentgrass phytotoxicity was rated seven times...Phytotoxicity was rated below acceptable (7.0) on several dates for all treated creeping bentgrass. Conversely, no phytotoxicity was observed on the Kentucky bluegrass at any time." Concludes that "it would appear that a reduction of a creeping bentgrass population in mixed creeping bentgrass/'Midnight' Kentucky bluegrass stand is attainable if multiple applications of mesotrione and MSO are applied in the fall of the year."
