Abstract/Contents: | "Intensive use an wear of turfgrass in athletic fields greatly reduces the factor of competition by the turfgrass, thus increasing the possibility of weed invasion. For example, bermudagrass in an athletic field is usually dormant in the fall before football season is over. Being dormant and subject to intensive foot traffic and wear the grass affords little or no competition to winter annual weeds, especially down the center of the field and around player benches. Herbicides are just one part of the weed control program. Careful and faithful applications of fertilizer, lime and irrigation along with aerification and the addition of seed or sprigs are a part of the total weed management program. Both the type of the turfgrass and management practices will influence selection of herbicides used." |
