| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses bermudagrass, stating that it "negatively impacts aesthetics of a cool-season rough or fairway by disrupting uniformity due to its course texture and its dormant tan to brown color after frosts." Provides potential management practices, stating that "mowing heights above 3 inches for roughs, controlling brown patch and summer patch diseases, and proper cool-season fertility programs are some cultural practices that can limit bermudagrass invasion." Suggests that "the most reliable and consistent way to control common bermudagrass is using sequential applications of glyphosate at 5 pounds of active ingredient per acre (lbs ai/A) leading up to fall renovation and reseeding. This method is obviously very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and leaves the area without turf and unusable until establishment from seed or sod." Reports that "applications of mesotrione produce extremely bleached bermudagrass, essentially turning bermudagrass white, significantly reducing turf color ratings for plots treated with mesotrione...Further research with [mesotrione plus triclopyr] combination found that there were similar effects toward several other species including nimblewill, crabgrass, bentgrass, and several broadleaf species. Additionally, mesotrione plus triclopyr is outstanding for general weed control." |
