Abstract

Preemergence herbicides were applied on February 28 at the recommended and three times the normal rate to determine the tolerance of tall fescue that was seeded in September, October and November of the preceding year. Fall seeding date of tall fescue significantly affected its tolerance to spring-applied preemergence herbicides. Generally, preemergence herbicides at normal rates were safe to apply to September- or October-seeded tall fescue. No herbicide was completely safe to apply to November-seeded tall fescue. The density of November-seeded tall fescue was generally reduced less with benefin, bensulide, dithiopyr, oxadiazon G and WP than with benefin plus oryzalin, oryzalin, or pendimethalin.
