Abstract/Contents:Presents a study "to evaluate the effectiveness of preemergence herbicides in selected commonly grown ground covers." Results include that "postplant applications of trifluralin, diphenamid, and Sirmate®, and the combination treatment of diphenamid plus trifluralin provides a high level of tolerance at the rates used in this study...Where simazine was added in the combination treatments, a number of the ground covers exhibited considerable injury...On the other hand, P. peltatum and the Sedums showed remarkable tolerance when simazine was included in the treatments. Diphenamid in general showed less injury with the preplant treatments than did trifluralin... Sirmate® provide[d] adequate weed control and except for some early yellowing of foliage on some species, no affect on growth was observed. Weed control was improved by incorporating the chemicals into the soil...However, as the data indicates, satisfactory weed control can be accomplished with postplant applications when followed with sprinkler irrigation and plany safety is improved...Early postplant applications of some of the preemergence weed control chemicals can be used safely in several of the frequently planted ground covers. Many of the common annual weeds are controlled with these herbicides; however, due to the selective nature of these herbicides certain weed species may not be controlled at selective rates. An advantage of this type of chemical is that a single treatment may least several months."
