Sequential Postemergence Applications for the Control of Yellow Nutsedge in Bermudagrass Turf
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Experiment was conducted in 2013 to evaluate various herbicide treatment regimes for POST yellow nutsedge control.Evaluated herbicides included metsulfuron-methyl+sulfosulfuron, Oxadiazon, Clothedim, Sicloxidim, Nicosulfuron+Rimsulfuron and untreated check.Evaluated treatments did not cause objectionable bermudagrass injury at any time.The highest and the lowest dry weight of turfgrass was achieved in Oxadiazon (211 g mG 2 ) and untreated plots (130 g mG 2 ), respectively.The results of this study indicate that satisfactory control of yellow nutsedge (>90%) obtained by post-emergence application of oxadiazon, clothedim or sicloxidim at the first time and repeat applications will not be required.Further, our results indicate that efforts to enhance yellow nutsedge control with metsulfuron-methyl+sulfosulfuron and nicosulfuron+rimsulfuron timings and repeat applications were inconsistent.These data confirm that the lower bermudagrass phytotoxicity was achieved with the sicloxidim treatment.
