Abstract/Contents:"Combinations of Turflon plus MSMA, with or without the addition of Primo, provided good control of kikuyugrass for up to five weeks. A second application was necessary to extend control beyond 5 weeks. None of the treatments tested caused obvious damage to either Bermudagrass or annual bluegrass. The addition of Primo to Turflon plus MSMA caused a slight improvement in herbicidal activity on several rating dates. However, the results seen may not justify the cost of adding Primo to the tank. Sequential applications did not perform as well as other treatments. An application of Primo, followed one week later by a Turflon plus MSMA combination resulted in unacceptable control on more than half of the rating dates. As suggested in an earlier study, treatments must be applied to actively growing kikuyugrass for optimum results. Treatments applied during the winter months, when kikuyugrass is growing slowly, will have minimal effectiveness."
