| Abstract/Contents: | "Small lawns, averaging 3,500 to 4,000 square feet, were targeted for treatment in the Baltimore, MD area. Prior to herbicide and 4-1-2 fertilizer applications, weed populations were identified. Properties were treated as a split plot design, where half the property received a standard Trimec 959 (3.125 pt/A rate) application, and the other half received Trimec 959 plus Gallery (1.0 lb ai/A). Trimec, a postemergence product, will only control only the weeds visible at the time of application. Gallery adds a barrier to protect against emergence of additional weeds. Evaluations were made 6, 7 and 8 months after herbicide application. Weeds observed in the study included dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), plantains (Plantago sp.), white clover (Trifolium repens), spurge (Euphorbia sp.), oxalis (Oxalis sp.), chickweed (Cerastium sp.), veronica (Veronica sp.), and ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea). At six months after treatment, weed control was excellent in the Gallery treated areas, and weeds were emerging in the Trimec alone treatment. There was a statistical difference between the treatments when anlyzed as a Wilcoxson Signed Rank Test. A Pearson Chi-Square Contingency Table analysis gives a p-value of 0.012, which suggests a significant relationship between the lack of weeds and Gallery. At seven and eight months after application, this trend continued. Weeds emerging included dandelion, chickweed, oxalis, and violets. A typical residential route was also treated with Gallery for a weed, which allowed comparison to the routes where standard applications of herbicide were used. Dandelion bloom varies from region to region, and can be an indication of the success of weed control programs. Lawn care companies around Baltimore were receiving approximately 30 calls a week per specialist, during the month of May when dandelions began flowering. No weed control complaints were received from the route treated with Gallery. Fewer callbacks and extended weed control allow lawn care operators more flexibity in their day to day operations, yielding a better bottom line." |
