| Abstract/Contents: | "To identify potential labor-saving means of weed control in wildflower plantings, 8 species of native grasses (Andropogon gerardii, Bouteloua certipendula, Bouteloua gracilis, Buchloe dactyloides, Panicum virgatum, Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, Sporobolis heterolepis) and 7 species common to wildflower mixes (Centaurea cyanus, Coreopsis tinctoria, Enchinacea purpurea, Eschscholzia californica, Gaillardia pulchella, Linum perenne, Lobularia maritima) were seeded into a silt loam soil in 20 x 15 cm peat trays in the greenhouse and treated with pre-emergent herbicides, (alachlor, atrazine, benefin, bensulide, DCPA, metolachlor, oryzalin, oxadiazon, siduron, simazine and trifluralin). Herbicides were applied as sprays in 20 ml/tray or granules. The herbicides were applied either immediately after seeding or 2 weeks after emergence. The grasses and broadleaves were treated as seperate studies. Treatment combinations were repeated 3 times in a completely randomized design. All native grasses except Andropogon gerardii suffered significant population and quality loss with all herbicides applied at the time of seeding. Andropogon gerardii was not significantly injured by 1.1-4.5 kg/ha atrazine and 1.7-6.7 kg/ha alachlor. Data on seedling population and phytotoxicity response of the grasses to delayed application of herbicide, and broadleaf response to both treatment times will be presented." |
