Abstract/Contents:"Our primary objective was to determine optimum times and rates for applications of metsulfuron methyl (MSM) [methyl 2-[(}[( 4-methoxy-6-methyl-1, 3, 5-triazin-2-yl) amino carbonyl] amino) sulfonyl] benzoate} and sulfometuron methyl (SMM) {methyl 2 [({[( 4, 6-dimethyl-2-primidinyl) amino] carbonyl} amino) sulfonyl] benzoate} to reduce mowing requirement without adversely affecting the aesthetic value of the bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers.] turfgrass. Field studies were conducted on mature bermudagrass lawn turf grown on a Captina silt loam soil (fine-silty, mixed, mesic Typic Fragiudalt). Results of 1982 and 1983 experiments showed that MSM alone produced much less growth reduction than a combination of MSM and SMM. The combination or rates of 35 + 35 and 70 + 70 g ha-1 and higher produced good growth suppression for 6 to 8 weeks followed by a flush of growth, but excessive discoloration injury expecially when repeated a 5-week intervals. In 1984 the combination applied at 8.8 + 8.8 on 24 May, 17.5 + 17.5 on 28 June, and 35 + 35 on 2 August provided excellent growth retardation (70% mowing reduction) all season with only very slight injury. The influence of irrigation and N fertilization was minimal."
