Abstract/Contents: | "Crabgrass remains the most important weed of improved turfgrass based on dollars spent for preemergence and postemergence control. Despite numerous herbicides available for crabgrass control in lawns, lawn care professionals and home owners continue to report control failures. Professionals are particularly interested in crabgrass control programs that provide season-long control and consistency from one site to another and across seasons. Several preemergence herbicides have been evaluated at Virginia Tech annually between 2002 and 2007. The objectives are to determine herbicide effectiveness and application intervals that will provide Smooth crabgrassthe most consistent smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum) control late in the season. Field trials were conducted each year for six years on tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass turf maintained at 2.5 inches in Blacksburg, VA. Studies were conducted as randomized complete block factorial designs with treatments replicated three times. Treatment factors included herbicide and application with 6 herbicides each applied once at a full rate or twice at reduced rates. A nontreated control was included for comparison. Herbicides included benefin at 1. 5 lb ai/A and 1.5 followed by (fb) 1.5 lb ai/A, benefin plus trifluralin at 2.0 lb ai/A and 1.5 fb 1.5 lb ai/A, dithiopyr at 0.5 lb ai/A and 0.25 fb 0.25 lb ai/A, oxadiazon at 4.0 lb ai/A and 2.0 fb 2.0 lb ai/A, pendimethalin at 3.0 lb ai/A and 1.5 fb 1.5 lb ai/A, and prodiamine at 0.94 lb ai/A and 0.66 fb 0.66 lb ai/A. Initial treatment times were based on GDD50 between 70 and 140 and occurred between April 4th and April 27th depending on year. Repeat treatments were applied approximately eight weeks later and occurred between May 26 and June 7 depending on year. Crabgrass control was evaluated by visual estimation of crabgrass cover and percentage reduction in crabgrass compared to nontreated controls. In annual studies between 2002 and 2007, dithiopyr, pendimethalin, and prodiamine controlled smooth crabgrass between 80 and 100% when applied as two split-rate treatments and between 50 and 100% when applied as a single full-rate treatment with few exceptions. Consistency of weed control increased when sequential treatments were appliedcom pared to single treatments for all herbicides except oxadiazon. In general, single applications performed better in years of limited rainfall and poorly in years of adequate or excessive rainfall. Benefin and benefin plus trifluralin controlled crabgrass less than dithiopyr, pendimethalin, and prodiamine in most years." |
