Abstract/Contents: | "Roundup and MSMA were evaluated in the summer of 1993 to determine the utility of tank-mixing these two herbicides for grass weed control in a bermudagrass right-of-way turf. All possible combinations of 0, 4, 8, 12, or 16 oz pr/A Roundup and 0, 1, 2, or 3 lb ai/A MSMA were evaluated. Treatments were applied on June 6 using a CO2 backpack sprayer delivering a spray volume of 25 GPA. The plot area had been mowed 2 weeks prior to treatment. The turf canopy had approximately 80% common bermudagrass cover. Weed growth stages were as follows: knotroot foxtail-8 in (6-leaf), johnsongrass-16 in (6-leaf), and tall fescue-6 in (10-tiller). By 20 DAT (days after treatment), the only treatment resulting in 10% injury was the tank mix of 3 lb/A MSMA + 16 oz/A Roundup which injured 20%. By 41 DAT, all treatments resulted in 3% injury. Comparing 4 to 12 oz/A Roundup alone, johnsongrass control increased with increasing rate through 28 DAT. From 41 to 90 DAT, 8 to 16 oz/A Roundup controlled comparably, and at 90 DAT, control ranged from 75 to 88%. At 90 DAT, control with 1 to 3 lb/A MSMA ranged from 83 to 90%. All tank mixtures at 51 to 90 DAT resulted in 78 to 90% johnsongrass control, with the exception of 65% observed with 3 lb/A MSMA + 16 oz/A Roundup. With 12 or 16 oz/A Roundup alone, control of knotroot foxtail was equivalent from 13 to 90 DAT, with 90% control noted with either rate at 90 DAT. At 90 DAT, 1, 2, and 3 lb/A MSMA controlled knotroot foxtail 50, 63, and 78%, respectively. No advantage was seen in tank-mixing Roundup + MSMA with rates lower than those which would control knotroot foxtail alone. However, no antagonism was observed either. MSMA alone did not result in more than 55% control of tall fescue from 41 to 90 DAT. With Roundup alone, 12 or 16 oz/A controlled tall fescue 78 to 88%. Tank-mixing was not advantageous for tall fescue control." |
