Abstract/Contents:"A fifty treatment study was conducted at the Landscape Meangement Research Center at The Pennsylvania State University on a mature stand of predominately perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The objective of the study was to compare experimental materials with commercial standards for the preemergence control of smooth crabgrass. Treatments were applied on April 21 using a three foot hand held CO₂ powered boom sprayer with two 6504 flat fan nozzles calibrated to deliver 80 gpa at 30 psi. Granular treatments were applied using a shaker jar. Germiniation was first noticed in the study site on May 15, 1997. One [on] June 24, 1997, those treatments that were not applied with fertilizer carrier, were fertilized with 0.9 lbs N/M from a 31-3-10 fertilizer which was subsequently irrigated with approximately 0.5 inches of water. The study area was maintained at 1.25 inches with a triplex reel mower with the clippings returned and irrigation was supplied when needed to prevent wilting. Of the fifty treatments in the study, 20 provided acceptable control (85%) or greater). Two provided outstanding control (97%) pendimethalin applied twice at 1.5 lbs ai/A, and prodiamine applied with a split application (0.5 lbs ai/A initially followed by an additional 0.25 lbs ai/A 8 weeks later). Dithiopyr AD445 applied once at 0.25 lbs ai/A or split into two 0.125 lbs ai/A applications and the EC formulation split at 0.19 lbs ai/A provided better than 90% control. Benefin plus trifluralin provided 90% or better control, regardless whether a split application or single was used as did prodiamine applied using a 0.32 lb ai/A sequential application. Safe N Simple only provided acceptable control when it was combined whith Pendimethalin at a rate of 1 lb ai/A. It appears that much higher rates of Safe N Simple are needed to provide control, however in so doing a relatively high rate of nitrogen would be applied. A slight reduction (10%) of smooth crabgrass was noted in plots receiving fertilizer only."
