| Abstract/Contents: | MH (0.6 %) applied once in April using cone nozzles, a spray pressure of 30 lb/in2 and a spray volume of 95 gal/acre suppressed grass growth for about 2 months. The same concentrations combined in a formulation with 2,4-D (0.375 %) suppressed grasses and broad-leaved weeds for a similar period. Two applications of the mixture on the same plot in each of 6 years proved a practical alternative to the normal orchard practice of 6-10 mowings for sward control. In the unsprayed, repeatedly mown inter-rows Agrostis stolonifera remained the dominant grass, but after 2-3 years of treatment with MH + 2,4-D it was superseded by Poa pratensis which remained dominant for the rest of the 6-year period. Apple trees and populations of soil fauna such as earthworms, nematodes and diplopods were unaffected. |
