Abstract/Contents: | "It is important that preemergence herbicides used for annual weed control in warm- and cool-season turf not injure the desired turfgrass species. A field experiment was conducted for two years to determine the tolerance of Tifway Bermudagrass [Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy x C. dactylon (L.) Pers.] and K-31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) to preemergence herbicides. Herbicides were applied at recommended (1X) and twice the recommended (2X) rates. Prodiamine (Barricade) at <= 1.6 kg/ha (<=1.5 lb/A), butralin (EXP 30910A and EXP 31068A) at <= 11.2 kg/ha (<=10.1 lb/A), pendimethalin (Pre M and Weedgrass Control) at 3.4 kg/ha (3.0 lb/A) and dithopyr EC (Dimension) at 0.8 kg/ha (0.75 lb/A) on February 24 did not reduce the quality or shoot density of Tifway bermudagrass. Tifway bermudagrass injured by oxadiazon (Ronstar) >= 4.5 kg/ha (>= 4.0 lb/A) recovered by late April to early May, while turf treated with oxyfluorfen plus oryzalin (Rout) at 2.2 + 1.1 kg.ha (2.0 + 1.0 lb/A) recovered by late April and turf treated at 4.5 + 2.2 kg/ha (4.0 + 2.0 lb/A) generally did not recover by late June. Tifway bermudagrass treated with oryzalin (Surflan) alone at <= 6.7 kg/ha (6.0 lb/A) did not recover by late June. However, turf treated with benefin plus oryzalin (XL) at 1.7 + 1.7 kg/ha (1.5 + 1.5 lb/A) recovered by this date. None of the preemergence herbicides severely reduced quality or shoot density of tall fescue except oxyfluorfen plus oryzalin (Rout) applied at <= 4.5 + 2.2 kg/ha (<= 4.0 + 2.0 lb/A), oryzalin (Surflan) at 6.7 kg/ha (6.0 lb/A), and benefin plus oryzalin (XL) at 3.4 + 3.4 kg/ha (3.0 + 3.0 lb/A)." |
