Abstract

Control of annual broadleaf winter weeds in dormant bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. ‘Common’] by a variety of herbicides was examined. Nearly all treatments allowed good to excellent control of spur weed (Soliva sessilis P. and K.). Metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazine-5(4H)one] was the only tested herbicide that controlled all weed species consistently with a single treatment. Bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-(4) 3H-one 2,2-dioxide] applied alone as single or repeated treatments controlled spur weed, parsley-piert (Alchemilla microcorpa Boissier Reuter), and chickweed [Stellaria media (L.) Cyrillo], but a combination of bentazon and silvex [2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid] were needed for acceptable control of henbit (Lamium amplexicaule L.) and corn speedwell (Veronica arvensis L.). None of the herbicide treatments affected green-up of bermudagrass the following spring.
