Abstract/Contents:"Two experiments were established to evaluate johnsongrass control on highway rights-of-way. Applications were made with a CO2 backpack sprayer to 4-8 leaf johnsongrass. Visual ratings were made through 3 months after treatment (MAT) at monthly intervals. Herbicides evaluated included imazapic, imazapic + 2,4-D, MSMA, sulfosulfuron, sulfometuron, and glyphosate. The first experiment was conducted in 1999 and repeated in 2000 to evaluate imazapic and MSMA combinations. The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the addition of MSMA to imazapic increased johnsongrass control as well [as] increasing the spectrum of weeds controlled. The imazapic rates were 0.0625, 0.094, and 0.125 lb ai/A. The MSMA rates were 0, 1, and 2 lb ai/A. when averaged over 2 years, johnsongrass control at 2 MAT was at least 83% with 0.125 lb/A imazapic alone or tank-mixed with MSMA and 0.094 lb/A imazapic tank-mixed with 2 lb/A MSMA. These treatments were significantly better than all other treatments. At 3 MAT, results were similar to the 2 MAT ratings, johnsongrass control was at least 79%. The addition of 2 lb/A MSMA to 0.094 lb/A imazapic increased johnsongrass control to 81% compared to 66% with imazapic alone. Johnsongrass control with all other treatments was 66% or less. These data indicate that 0.125 lb/A imazapic could be used alone for adequate johnsongrass control, however, using 0.094 lb/A imazapic would require the addition of 2 lb/A MSMA to achieve equivalent johnsongrass control. Imazapic rates lower than 0.094 did not provide acceptable johnsongrass control with the addition of MSMA and therefore would not be recommended. The second experiment compared to 0.156 lb/A imazapic, Oasis® (0.188 lb/A imazapic + 0.375 lb ae/A 2,4-D acid), and 0.062 lb ai/A Outrider® (sulfosulfuron) and an industry standard of 0.05 lb ai/A Oust® (sulfometuron) tank-mixed with 0.5 lb ai/A Roundup Pro® (glyphosate). Johnsongrass control was 90% with imazapic or imazapic + 2,4-D, which was better than sulfosulfuron (80%) or sulfometuron + glyphosate (85%) at 2 MAT. Imazapic or imazapic + 2,4-D controlled johnsongrass at least 89% at 3 MAT compared to 80% or less with other treatments. Bermudagrass injury was within an acceptable level (<30%); however, bermudagrass density was 50% with sulfosulfuron compared to 23% or less with all other treatments at 3 MAT."
