| Abstract/Contents: | Tests for the control of goosegrass were conducted in three parts, the first testing the effects of differing amounts of light and temperatures upon the germination of goosegrass seed, the second testing the effectiveness of preemergence herbicides and the last testing postemergence herbicides, with an ancillary part dealing with a late fall application of chemicals to reduce the viability of the goosegrass seeds the following spring. Goosegrass seed was harvested and four plates of 100 seeds were subjected to nine different temperatures and light conditions. Light was a more significant factor at 20-30 degrees C than at 20-35 degrees C. Optimum germinating temperature seems to be between 30-35 degrees Celcius. The sudden removal of a turfgrass surface will increase both light and temperature to an extent that goosegrass seed is favored. Applications of chlordane at 60 pounds per acre with a clay carrier proved to be an effective preemergence herbicide. Disodium methyl arsonate gave 63% control and 73% control when used with 2, 4-D as a post emergence herbicide. A new chemical FW-450 shows promise. DSMA also proved to significantly reduce seed germination the following spring if applied again in September. |
