Abstract/Contents: | Discusses bioherbicides, presenting a study conducted "to test whether biological control would work in the field." States that "methods were developed to grow Phoma macrostoma in the laboratory and formulate it as a granule or powder for broadcasting to the soil surface. Conceptually, the granules would either be applied together with grass seed to establish a weed-free lawn...or be broadcast over turfgrass and soil to prevent new weed emergence and kill previously established weeds." Mentions that "using genetic markers specific to the fungus, it was shown that Phoma macrostoma had limited mobility in the soil and its presence declined with time such that it was not detectable after one year." |
