| Abstract/Contents: | "This study was conducted at the Landscape Management Research Center, University Park, PA on a mature stand of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.). The objective of the study was to assess selected growth regulator/herbicide materials for their ability to suppress growth and seedhead development of tall fescue managed under low maintenance conditions (similar to roadside). The treatments were applied on May 5, 1997, using a three foot hand held CO₂ powered boom sprayer with two flat fan nozzles (6504) calibrated to deliver 40 gpa at 30 psi. Ratings were taken on a weekly basis for vegetative height (excluding seedheads). Injury ratings were taken 14 and 28 days after treatment. Seedhead suppression was rated on a percentage reduction basis of each treated plot which was adjacent to an untreated check. No mowing, irrigation, or fertilization was used during the study. No differences in vegetative height were found on turf treated with any material until the May 19, 1997 ratings. At that time, turf treated with the combination of mefluidide, imazapyr, and imazethapyr (Stronghold) and additional imazapyr (12 oz/A and 1oz/A respectfully) with 0.25% V/V Aqua Zorb, the combination of mefluidide, imazapyr, and imazethapyr (Stronghold) and additional imazapyr (12 oz/A and 1.5 oz/A respectfully) with 0.25% V/V Aqua Zorb and mefluidide and imazapyr and imazathapyr (0.2 oz/M and 0.05 oz/M) was significantly shorter than the untreated turf. By the May 27 ratings, all treatments with the exception of mefluidide alone, had significantly shorter turf than the untreated turf. This trend continued on through the June 2, 1997 ratings. None of the treatments caused unacceptable phytotoxicity at any time. Seedhead suppression rated on June 2, 1997, revealed that all treatments, with the exception of mefluidide alone, provided significant seedhead suppression." |
