Abstract/Contents: | A study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of glyphosate (Roundup) and seeding in converting a solid stand of creeping bentgrass to Kentucky bluegrass. Portions of the creeping bentgrass stand were seeded with Windsor Kentucky bluegrass using a Rogers Seeder (a combination vertical mower and disc seeder), then treated with glyphosate at 1 lb/A applied in 28 gallons of water per acre. Adjacent plots were first sprayed with glyphosate and seeded two weeks later. The stands that were seeded and sprayed immediately afterwards were 50% Bentgrass while plots with 2 week interval between spraying and seeding averaged only 7% bentgrass. Difference in % bentgrass was attributed to interference of vertical mowing with downward translocation of the herbicide. Data suggests that glyphosate will become an important herbicide for use in turf. |
