| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes techniques that may be helpful when battling goosegrass and crabgrass with the use of pre-emergent herbicides. Explains that pre-emergent herbicides act as root inhibitors, and if misused may sometimes injure desirable grasses. Suggests applying pre-emergent herbicides uniformly at correct rates and appropriate times. Also suggests using lower rates with lower weed pressure and consider using post-emergent herbicides such as Acclaim. Also, misapplication, too much rainfall, materials not properly weathered in, and thin turf with heavy weed conditions all hinder the effectiveness of pre-emergent herbicides. Reports that turf that received damage after application of pre-emergent herbicides may be a result of misapplication, extreme weather conditions, and sensitivity of certain grasses to them. Cultural and chemical control strategies are essential in goosegrass and crabgrass control. Important ones include the height of the cut (generally higher is better), irrigation practices, fertilization, cultivation, and divot repair. Other factor developing strategies encompass the specific area (green, tee, fairway or rough). Single full rate application of bensulide and Dacthal in the early spring where weed pressures are low is adequate. Bensulide and Dacthal can be applied in the early spring to tees with recommendations of a single full rate application is late May or early June; fairways may receive a single application of bensulide, Dacthal, or pendimenthalin. |
