Abstract/Contents: | "Ground ivy (Clechoma hederacea), sometimes referred to as creeping Charlie, is a tough-to-control broadleaf weed in the mint family usually found growing in the shade. When attempting to control weeds, Extension bulletins and many herbicide labels recommend not to mow turf 1-2 days before or after application of a herbicide to maximize control. However, the effect of mowing on herbicide efficacy has not been sufficiently explored. The objectives of this experiment were to 1) determine which herbicides most effectively control ground ivy, 2) determine the optimum mowing schedule for weed control, and 3) determine if any herbicide by mowing timing interactions exist. The herbicide treatments were 2,4-D ester, Blade, Imprelis, Trimec Classic, Turflon Ester Ultra, and the untreated check at various timings before or after mowing. At no point in the experiment did the main effect of mowing have a significant impact on ground ivy coverage nor was there a significant mowing by herbicide interaction. Thus, this preliminary data suggests that whether or not turf is mown before or after an application may not be as important as previously thought. Imprelis, a herbicide no longer registered for use, was the most effective at controlling ground ivy. This experiment will be repeated in 2011-2012." |
