| Abstract/Contents: | "Goosegrass (Eleusine Indica L.) ELEIN is considered to be one of the most difficult to control weeds infesting turfgrass grown in the U.S. Preemergence herbicides were used in these experiments; therefore, experimental areas were selected which contained an abundance of goosegrass residue from the previous year. The experiment sites selected were located on golf course fairways at Giles County C.C. in Pearisburg, VA and at Ivy Hills G.C. in Lynchburg, VA. Both sites were managed under typical fairway conditions. Both sites were treated for broadleaf weed control and fertilized at 1/2 lb N/1000 ft on a monthly basis from April to August. No significant injury was observed for any of the treatments in either of these experiments. Turf cover at the Pearisburg site was predominately a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) POAPR, and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) LOLPE. Turf cover at the Lynchburg site was predominately a mixture of common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) CYNDA and perennial ryegrass. Goosegrass germination and emergence did not occur until the middle of July as a result of suboptimal germination and development conditions. The objectives of these tests included:, 1) Evaluation of the effectiveness of preemergence herbicides for goosegrass and crabgrass control in both cool and warm season turfgrasses, and 2) Evaluation of the effects of these preemergence herbicides on turf cover quality. Herbicide applications were made in early April and late May. S-5009, S-5041, S-2460, and split applications of oxadiazon and pendimethalin all gave excellent weed control and more than acceptable quality throughout the season. When using dithiopyr and prodiamine multiple applications were to effectively reduce goosegrass populations for the entire growing season. Turfgrass cover dramatically effected goosegrass populations. The Pearisburg site had a higher infestation of goosegrass during the period of summer stress to cool season grasses while the high level of bermudagrass cover at the Lynchburg site aided in reduction of goosegrass populations late into the season." |
