| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine if mesotrione will eliminate bentgrass when multiple applications are made, if turf can be overseeded while selectively removing bentgrass from a stand of turf, and if applications are best when made prior to seeding or after turf emergence." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the study was conducted on an old stand of mixed cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass adjacent to a fairway height creeping bentgrass area...The site is a disturbed Nicollet clay soil, with a pH of 7.35, 4.2% organic matter, 134 ppm [parts per million] K [potassium], and 7 ppm P [phosphorous]." States that "phytoxicity observed on the bluegrass was negligible, and was only observed during the month of August...All treatments provided a reduction in bentgrass percentages and an increase in Kentucky bluegrass...It was observed that the process of verticutting during the establishment process appeared to improve the effectiveness of the mesotrione. Further work to evaluate the application of mesotrione with and without verticutting may be useful." |
