| Abstract/Contents: | "MH (1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione) was applied at 4 to 6 lb/A, in spring and fall, with and without (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), on roadsides normally mowed from 2 to 12 times a year. MH at 6 lb/A applied in spring generally reduced grass height. Lower rates and fall applications were generally ineffective. Depending on area, rural or urban, and retardant effectiveness, between zero and five mowings per year were saved. When the MH was effective and the turf was not strong and vigorous, annual weeds such as crabgrass (Digitaria spp. Heist.), foxtail (Setaria spp. Beauv.), and ragweed (Ambrosia spp. L.) often increased and gave the roadside an undesirable appearance. When MH was used without 2,4-D, the roadside generally had a poorer appearance than when not treated. When MH was applied with 2,4-D and no application 'skips' or annual weed infestation occurred, the roadside sometimes had a satisfactory appearance. The time when MH can be effectively applied is short (about 2 weeks). Rains, winds, and springtime roadway work make proper timing of applications difficult under Minnesota conditions. Applications of 2,4-D alone or with MH were effective in reducing roadside weeds." |
