| Abstract/Contents: | "In recent years, the search for weed control options in turfgrass systems managed organically or pesticide-free has been an increasing focus of turfgrass research. Flaming could be a pesticide-free alternative for controlling weeds in turfgrass. Only one preliminary report of a non-repeated study could be found regarding flame in ornamental turf ('Patriot' hybrid bermudagrass). From a metaanalysis of 500 search returns via google and google scholar, we found that flaming had a high likelihood of occurring in consumer searches for organic weed control options in ornamental turf. Due to the paucity of information available on the use of flaming for weed control in turfgrass systems, studies were conducted to assess the response of different warm-season turfgrass species and weeds to duration of flame exposure. Field trials were conducted during the 2020 growing season at Virginia Tech's Glade Road Research Facility in Blacksburg, VA, to examine the efficacy of flame duration for weed control in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia sp.). Treatments included flaming at 1, 2, 3, and 4 minutes per 1.1 m2 at a speed of ? 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, and 0.05 mph, and a nontreated check. Data on weed control and turfgrass recovery was collected and analyzed. Bermudagrass recovered from flame treatments quickly with acceptable turf cover reestablished in under four weeks. However, zoysiagrass recovery was lower and flameduration dependent. All durations of flame controlled corn speedwell and chickweed 100%. Annual bluegrass and white clover were controlled up to 85% depending on flame duration. Common dandelion, buckhorn plantain, horseweed, and broadleaf dock were initially burned back by flaming, but recovered by 49 DAT regardless of flame duration." |
