Abstract: Field studies conducted for 2 years showed that glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] or mixtures of glyphosate and preemergence herbicides applied as preplant and directed postplant sprays were effective in providing season-long weed control in commercial nurseries. Oryzalin [3,5-dinitro- N 4 , N 4 -dipropylsulfanilamide] at 2.2 or 4.5 kg ai/ha, and mixtures of simazine [2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine] at 1.1 kg ai/ha with diphenamid [ N , N dimethyl-2,-2-diphenylacetamide] at 6.7 kg ai/ha, napropamide [2-(α-naphthoxyl)- N , N -diethylpropionamide] at 2.2 kg ai/ha, alachlor [2-chloro-2’,6’-diethyl- N -(methoxymethyl) acetanilide] at 2.2 kg ai/ha or oryzalin at 4.5 kg ai/ha were effective treatments when used after preplant application of glyphosate (2.2 kg ai/ha) or when combined with glyphosate (2.2 kg ai/ha). None of the herbicide treatments reduced growth of red maple ( Acer rubrum L.), Norway maple ( A. platanoides L.), or creeping juniper ( Juniperus horizontalis Moench). Japanese spurge ( Packysandra terminalis Sieb. and Zucc.) survival was reduced by treatments containing oryzalin.
