| Abstract/Contents: | "'Pensacola' bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) is the predominate species of vegetation for many of central and southern Alabama roadsides. A new herbicide, sulfometuron-methyl, is very effective for controlling weeds in common bermudagrass on roadsides. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum rates and timing of sulfometuron-methyl applications to minimize injury and suppress seedhead production on bahiagrass. Sulfometuron-methyl was applied at rates of 12.5; 25.0; 35.0; 50.0; 75.0 and 100.0 g ha-1 in November, February, April, and July. Evaluations were made in May and July to determine the level of suppression on the bahiagrass. By September the maximum level of injury for all treatments had been reached, at which time injury ratings were taken. Seedhead suppression data were taken in July and September. Less than 50% growth suppression of bahiagrass occurred when applications were made in November. When rates of 50.0 and 100.0 g ha-1 were applied in February, there was greater than 50% suppression of the bahiagrass when evaluated in May. All April applications gave greater than 50% suppression through June. Injury ratings taken in September showed that all July applications severely injured the bahiagrass regardless of the rate used. The most effective control of seedhead production was obtained from the April applications." |
