| Abstract/Contents: | "Good crop selectivity makes the use of graminicides an attractive proposition for use in tree establishment. However when compared to the agricultural situations upon which most graminicide recommendations are currently based, regenerating woodlands usually contain larger specimens of a wider range of grass weed species. For this reason, five field experiments were set up to investigate the relative susceptibility of young and established plants of 29 grass weed species and Juncus effuses to the graminicides cycloxydim, fluazifop-p-butyl and propaquizafop in comparison with glyphosate and propyzamide. Graminicide applications were made 6, 12 and 18 months after establishing small plants in early autumn. Generally, a wider range of grass species appeared to be susceptible, and at later growth stages, than currently recommended by manufacturers. Cycloxydim was the most effective graminicide on perennial grasses giving good long term control of Anthoxanthum oderatum, Cynosurus cristatus, Dactylis glomerata, Festuca arundinacea, Lolium perenne, Molinia caerulea, Phleum pretense and Poa trivialis at all application dates and Agrostis gigantean, Agrostis stolonifera, Arrhenathrum elatius in spring only. Fluazifop-p-butyl was the most effective on Festuca pratensis. Autumn applications of cycloxydim and fluazifop-p-butyl controlled Holcus lanatus and cycloxydim controlled Agrostis capillaris, Deschampsia caespitosa and Nardus stricta. Propaquizafop was the most effective graminicide on Elytrigia repens. Festuca longifolia, Festuca ovina, Festuca rubra ssp. rubra and J. effuses were not susceptible to these herbicides. The graminicides were generally very effective on annual species except Poa annua, although cycloxydim gave poorer control of older plants of Anisantha sterilis and Anisantha diandra and propaquizafop of Apera spica-venti. Possible factors affecting susceptibility of grass species to these herbicides are reviewed." |
