Abstract

MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) and DSMA (disodium methanearsonate) killed 27 to 90% of the broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus L.) plants when applied at 1.1 to 6.7 kg/ha in July. These rates did not reduce yields of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) or affect the density of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) growing in association with the broomsedge.
