| Abstract/Contents: | "Amidochlor at 2.24 to 3.36 kg a.i./ha provided excellent (90% or better) seedhead suppression of 'Baron' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and 80% to 90% seedhead suppression for 'Pennlawn' red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) turf. Although amidochlor provided excellent shoot growth reduction up to 42 days after treatment (DAT), the greatest shoot growth reduction was noted during 28 DAT. In general, turfgrass injury was within acceptable limits over the entire study period except during the 28-day period when unacceptable injury (32% to 64%) was noted. Quality of amidochlor-treated turfs was unacceptable 28 DAT. Quality improved significantly over time, and the quality ratings ranged from 7.0 to 8.5 maximum shoot growth reduction (85% to 93%) as measured by fresh clipping weight occurred during the initial 28-day period and thereafter declined, followed by a stimulation of turfgrass growth (56 DAT). Chemical name used: N-[(acetylamino) methyl] -2-chloro-N-2,6 (diethylphenyl) acetamide (amidochlor). |
