| Abstract/Contents: | "Field studies were conducted in 2006 and 2008 at Romney, WV, to evaluate reduced application rates of carfentrazone in combination with sethoxydim or glyphosate for the suppression of 'Kentucky-31' tall fescue row-middle sod in tree fruit orchards. Carfentrazone was applied at 8.69 g ai/ha with sethoxydim at 131 g ai/ha or glyphosate 145 g ai/ha. A crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v was added to both tank-mixtures. Treatments were applied in early May 2-3 days following first mowing. Grass height measurements and weed control ratings were recorded at 1 and 2 months after treatment (MAT). In 2006, carfentrazone + sethoxydim and carfentrazone + glyphosate provided similar levels of tall fescue suppression, 81 and 83% respectively, at 2 MAT, compared to untreated plots. In 2008 comparisons with untreated plots, the tank-mixture containing sethoxydim provided higher levels of tall fescue suppression (81%) compared to that containing glyphosate (59%) at 2 MAT. In 2006 and 2008, the untreated tall fescue measured 40 and 36 cm, respectively at 2 MAT. In 2006, the tank-mixture containing sethoxydim provided fair (70%) control of common chickweed (Stellaria media L.), whereas, that containing glyphosate provided good control (85%) of this weed during the study. Winter annuals were not present in sufficient numbers for evaluation in 2008. Cost analyses based on diesel fuel at $ 1.10/L and labor at $8.00/hr translated to a reduction of row-middle management costs by 17 and 35% using the sethoxydim and glyphosate based tank-mixtures, respectively." |
