Abstract/Contents: | "An initial experiment was established in the city of Ventura, California on August 1, 1989. The site had a mixed sward of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) which had been invaded by kikuyugrass. Kikuyugrass was uniformly distributed (83% of the turf cover) as was the remaining Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. The herbicide treatments consisted of triclopyr (.5 lb a.i. per A), MSMA(2 lb. a.i. per A), and triclopyr plus MSMA (.5 plus 2 lbs. a.i. per A) applied as both single and three, sequential treatments. A test was conducted at the University of California, Riverside Experiment Station over a two-year period to measure the differences in competitive ability of kikuyugrass and three cool-season turf cultivars: perennial ryegrass (cv 'Manhattan II'), Kentucky bluegrass (an unknown blend), and tall fesue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv 'Bonsai'). The results of this research can be integrated into a kikuyugrass management program. Where cool season species such as perennial ryegrass, tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass are in a mixed sward with kikuyugrass, sequential applications of a combination of MSMA and triclopyr can be used to reduce the density and competitiveness of kikuyugrass." |
