Abstract/Contents:"Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) and wild violet (Viola spp.) are two common and consistently problematic perennial broadleaf weeds found in cool season turfgrass. Managing these weeds is a dilemma many lawn care operators, sod producers and golf course superintendents face. Ground ivy is a prolific aromatic weed in the mint (Lamiaceae) family. This weed has numerous medicinal uses, and is commonly used as a salad green in many countries. Collectively, most managers of turfgrass refer to common blue violet (Viola sororia), wooly blue violet (Viola papilionacea), and confederate violet (Viola sororia f. priceana) all as wild violet. 152 Additionally, yellow violet (Viola pubescens) can be found infesting cool season turf. All of these violet species are perennials with heart shaped leaves and, once they are established, can be very difficult to control. Ground ivy and violet spread by rhizomes and by seed making them difficult to control with a single application of any herbicide. Over the past several years numerous active ingredients for managing these weeds have been evaluated, with some of these materials showing good activity, but they did not provide the needed level of tolerance to be used around ornamentals. The lack of a highly effective pre or postemergence herbicide continues to leave those in the turf industry with few means of complete control once they are established. One new option, Flumioxazin, has been evaluated in Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass and consistently displayed improved speed and long-term control of these weeds. Nufarm Americas is developing Flumioxazin for use in cool season turfgrass. Field experiments were conducted in 2015 evaluating the potential for using Flumioxazin herbicide to manage these weeds. The objective of these trials was to evaluate the performance of Flumioxazin herbicide when applied in combination with other active ingredients and under different environmental conditions to determine the potential for this herbicide in the cool season turfgrass market. In addition to evaluating Flumioxazin herbicide at several locations, treatments included evaluation of different rates, timings and combinations. Data from these trials confirmed Flumioxazin provides an alternative management strategy in control broadleaf weeds for lawn care operators, sod producers and golf course superintendents."
