Abstract/Contents:"When turf facilities decide to switch bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) surfaces to a newer turfgrass species or cultivar, it is imperative that the existing bermudagrass be eradicated completely to ensure a pure stand of the new cultivar. Methyl bromide was phased out of production in 2005 due to environmental concerns and alternative fumigants have not proven to be as effective for controlling problematic weeds, especially bermudagrass. Over the past few years, a new mechanical dethatching system called 'fraze mowing' has been introduced into the golf and sports turf industries. These machines are designed to aggressively remove thatch and growing points down to a maximum depth of approximately 5.0 cm. The objective of this proposed work is to investigate various herbicide treatments (combinations of glyphosate and fluazifop) for bermudagrass eradication, applied either prior to or after fraze mowing. This study was conducted over two seasons on sod production farms and university research sites. The study was set up as a split-plot design with fraze mowing treatments assigned to the whole plots and herbicide timing and treatments applied as the split plots. Regardless of herbicide timing, the use of fraze mowing improved bermudagrass control. Overall, these results demonstrated that fraze mowing, especially prior to applying herbicides, can significantly improve bermudagrass control."
