Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted from 1948-51 to evaluate the effectiveness of five chemicals in controlling crabgrass. Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "the tests reported here were conducted on a turf that was primarily Kentucky bluegrass." Adds that "the chemicals studied were sodium arsenite, phenyl mercuric acetate, potassium cyanate, monoamminoboronium fluoride (S-1840) and bis (lauryl, di2-hydroxyethylammino) boronium fluoride (S-1998)." Reports that "phenyl mercuric acetate generally gave less temporary discoloration of the bluegrass turf but was more dependent on repeat treatments for crabgrass control than the other chemicals." Concludes that "potassium cyanate, phenyl mercuric acetate, S-1840, and S-1998 provided crabgrass control averaging 89 per cent [percent] or more for the four years. Control with sodium arsenite averaged approximately 20 per cent less."
