| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the benefits of using sulfonylurea herbicides for weed control on bermudagrass. Explains that the most common herbicides currently in use have the disadvantages of requiring careful timing of applications in order to prevent damage to warm-season turf, a loss of flexibility due to the three month wait between application and overseeding, and the possibility of interference from high levels of soil organic matter. Explains that sulfonylureas, which have been used for several years in agricultural markets, are more specific and less toxic to mammals and other non-target plants than traditional herbicides. States that "the relative safety of these products to bermudagrass, their ability to control perennial ryegrass, Poa annua, Poa trivialis and other weeds, and the short overseed intervals make these products attractive as weed-management tools on both overseeded and nonoverseeded bermudagrass fairways." Explains that the main problem with using sulfonylureas is that, due to their effectiveness, they can leave fairways with bare patches for several weeks until the bermudagrass can recover. Also explains that, though they are safe for bermudagrass, sulfonylureas may damage other species, such as seashore paspalum or kikuyugrass. Concludes that "sulfonylurea herbicides are effective new tools for removal of annual and perennial weeds from both overseeded and nonoverseeded bermudagrass fairways." |
