Abstract/Contents:"Observed effects of flurprimidol (Cutless) under commercial use on bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) in Texas have been variable. A two-year investigation to generate definitive use guidelines on common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers] was undertaken utilizing four rates (0.56, 1.12, 1.68, and 2.24 kg ha -1) on two disturbed soils (a fine sandy loam and a clay). During the first year observation period, neither visual phytotoxicity nor reduced shoot density occurred at any of the application rates on either soil type, in contrast to prior reports. Reduced leaf clipping yields were sustained through the first month of flurprimidol treatment, but no differences from the untreated control were evident at 6 weeks. The second year of study was undertaken on the sandy loam site only. At the higher use rates of 1.68 and 2.24 kg ha-1, visual phytotoxicity was observed and leaf clipping yields were reduced. Two soil study was initiated on Tifway bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Davy]. Results indicated that fluriprimidol significantly reduced leaf clipping yields and that additional N increased clipping yields and decreased visual phytotoxicty."
