Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate efficacy of 17 PRE herbicides on seven weed species that are important competitors in container-grown ornamentals. Treatments included napropamide, metolachlor, acifluorfen, lactofen, oxyfluorfen, oryzalin, pendimethalin, prodiamine, trifluralin, isoxaben, oxadiazon, simazine and combination products. Control was evaluated by counting weed seedlings 42, 202, and 249 d after treatment. Some treatments provided nearly total control of less than 1.0 seedling per container at each rating over two years. Those treatments were: common groundsel—diphenyl ethers, isoxaben, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen + oryzalin, and oxyfluorfen + pendimethalin; prostrate spurge—pendimethalin, prodiamine, prodiamine-ABD, trifluralin, oxadiazon, isoxaben + oryzalin, and methazole + prodiamine; common chickweed—isoxaben and isoxaben + oryzalin; hairy bittercress—oxyfluorfen, pendimethalin, prodiamine, prodiamine-ABE, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen + oryzalin, oxyfluorfen + pendimethalin, and methazole + prodiamine; common ragweed—oxyfluorfen, prodiamine-ABD, methazole + prodiamine; Virginia pepperweed—lactofen, oxyfluorfen, oryzalin, pendimethalin, prodiamine, prodiamine-ABD, isoxaben, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen + oryzalin, oryzalin + pendimethalin, isoxaben + oryzalin, and methazole + prodiamine; horseweed—oxyfluorfen, dinitroanilines, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen + oryzalin, oxyfluorfen + pendimethalin, isoxaben + oryzalin, and methazole + prodiamine.
