| Abstract/Contents: | "Field experiments were designed to characterize the effectiveness of prodiamine for controlling annual grassy and broadleaf weeds in common bermudagrass turf. The parameters of the studies included evaluation of three formulations on four common weedy species and efficacy of a single formulation of six species. The 4 FL formulations gave superior control of annual bluegrass and bluets over the 1.25 G and 0.46% fertilizer at rates of 0.42 and 0.56 kg ai/ha. Formulation differences were not evident at higher rates. The flowable formulation failed to exhibit superiority at the low rates when applied to buttercup and goosegrass. However, no formulation tested gave satisfactory control of these species at rates less than 1.12 kg ai/ha. The flowable formulation was superior to the dry formulations at rates of 1.12 and 2.24 kg ai/ha on all species. A possible explanation could be that the dry formulations resulted in inadequate coverage or the prodiamine was not being released from dry material. In the College Station study, prodiamine at 0.28 kg ai/ha gave equal to superior control of annual bluegrass and chickweed as did benefin at 3.36 kg ai/ha, oryzalin + benefin at 1.68 + 1.68 kg ai/ha and oxadiazon at 4.48 kg ai/ha. Equal control of henbit was achieved with 0.56 to 1.12 kg ai/ha of prodiamine, however, only after rates of 1.12 kg were reached was the control of henbit considered satisfactory. Similar results were recorded in the Monticello study in that annual bluegrass and bluets were controlled with 0.42 kg ai/ha prodiamine and 4.48 kg ai/ha oxadiazon and 3.36 kg ai/ha benefin. Rates of 1.12 kg prodiamine were required for satisfactory control of buttercup. Benefin and oxadiazon failed to control buttercup at rates of 3.36 and 4.48 kg ai/ha. Adequate season long goosegrass control was achieved only with 1.12 to 2.24 kg ai/ha prodiamine in the Dallas study. Lower rates of prodiamine as well as oxadiazon at 3.36 and oryzalin + benefin at 1.68 + 1.68 kg ai/ha gave poor or very short term control." |
