Introduction This guide supplies information concerning turf herbicides and growth regulators in order to assist turfgrass professionals with developing effective weed control programs for golf courses, athletic fields, sod farms and lawns. Turfgrass Culture Herbicides are not a substitute for a conscientiously applied cultural program. Cultural practices are at least 60 to 70 percent of turfgrass weed control. The best means of preventing weed encroachment is a dense, vigorously growing turf. By choosing the right grass for the site and following proven fertilization, mowing and irrigation practices, weeds will be less competitive with the turf. Before deciding to use any weed control program, first determine why the turf is thin and weeds are invading. Correct the factors causing unhealthy turf before implementing a herbicide program. Weed prevention is avoiding the introduction of weeds into an uninfested area. One of the keys to making integrated pest management effective in controlling turfgrass weeds is not allowing weeds to become established.

Weed Types Weed identification should begin with classifying weeds by type. The four most common weed types are grasses, broadleaves, sedges and rushes. Grasses are monocotyledonous plants, which means they have only one seed cotyledon (leaf) present when a grass seedling emerges from the soil. Grasses have joints (nodes) and hollow, rounded stems. The true leaves (as opposed to seed or cotyledon leaves) have parallel veins and are several times longer than they are wide. Crabgrass, goosegrass, dallisgrass and annual bluegrass are typical grass weeds found in turf. Broadleaf weeds are dicotyledonous, which means they have two cotyledons at emergence and have net-like veins in their true leaves. Broadleaves often have colorful flowers compared to the inconspicuous flowers found on grasses. Chickweed, henbit, lespedeza, clover and dandelion are typical weeds. Sedges have solid, triangular stems (in most species) which bear leaves extending in three directions (three-ranked). Sedges lack ligules and auricles, and the leaf sheath is continuous around the stem. Yellow and purple nutsedge are examples. Rushes have round, solid stems and favor a moist habitat. Path rush is an example of the rush family. Path rush is often found near golf cart paths, sports fields and other compacted areas. Not all turfgrass weeds fall into these categories. Some turfgrass weeds are monocotyledonous plants but are not sedges or grasses. Some examples are wild garlic, spring beauty and star-of-bethlehem, which are members of the lily family. Weed Life Cycles The previously listed weed classifications may be further divided into annuals, biennials and perennials. Annuals germinate from seed, grow, mature and die in less than 12 months. Annuals may be further classified as winter and summer annuals. Winter annuals germinate in the fall, grow during cool periods, mature in the spring and then die during the summer. Summer annuals germinate in the spring, grow actively during the summer and die in the fall. Crabgrass and goosegrass are examples of summer annual grasses. Annual bluegrass is our most common winter annual grass weed in turf. Prostrate knotweed is an example of a summer annual, while henbit and chickweed are representative of winter annual broadleaves. Biennials reproduce from seed and complete their life cycle in two years. Biennials form rosettes and store food in their fleshy roots the first year and then flower the second year. Many thistle species in Arkansas are biennials. Perennial weeds live more than two years. Perennials may reproduce from seed or from vegetative structures such as roots, rhizomes, stolons, tubers or bulbs. The ability to reproduce vegetatively makes perennials more difficult to control. Some perennials such as dandelion, dock and wild garlic are actively growing during cool weather, while others like dallisgrass and nutsedge grow rapidly during the summer months. Perennials are further subdivided as simple perennials and creeping perennials. Simple perennials, such as dock and dandelion, overwinter by means of a vegetative structure such as a perennial root with a crown, but they reproduce almost entirely by seed. Creeping perennials can both overwinter and produce new, independent plants from vegetative reproductive structures. Vegetative reproductive structures include creeping roots, stolons (), rhizomes (johnsongrass), tubers (nutsedge) and bulbs (wild garlic). Most perennials can also reproduce from seeds. 2
Developing a Weed Control Program There are several important considerations when developing a weed control program. 1. Know what kinds of turfgrass you have and the total area of each different type. 2. Identify the problem weeds and note what time of the year they occur. 3. Determine why the weeds invaded the turf area and correct the conditions or cultural practices that caused the problem. 4. When an herbicide is needed: Select a chemical that is effective for the weeds and safe for the turfgrass. Follow all label directions. Apply the herbicide at the correct time and rate. Apply the herbicide uniformly over the turf area without skips or overlapping. Repeat the herbicide application when specified on the label. 5. Follow a good turf management program along with the weed control program. An integrated approach which includes enhancing turfgrass competition, mechanical control and chemical control methods will be the most successful weed control program. Herbicide Uses General Use Pesticides can be purchased and applied by anyone. Because of the risks involved in handling, many herbicides and other pesticides bear the words Restricted Use on the label, and restricted use pesticides can only be applied by licensed commercial or professional turf and landscape personnel. However, anyone applying any pesticide for money or to public property (including golf courses and parks) must have a pesticide applicator license from the Arkansas State Plant Board or be supervised by someone with a license. Contact the Plant Board at (501) 225-1598 for more information. They are on the Web at www.plantboard.org. Use herbicides and other pesticides safely to protect against human injury and harm to the environment. Diagnose your weed problem. Select the proper herbicide if one is needed. Follow the label directions. Obey all federal, state and local pesticide laws and regulations. Read the entire label, not just how much to use. Pesticide labels are federal law, not just a suggestion. Recommendations of specific chemicals are based on information on the manufacturer s label and performance in a limited number of research trials. It is impossible to test every product under every set of conceivable conditions. Because environmental conditions and methods of application by users may vary widely, performance of the chemical will not always conform to the safety and pest control standards indicated by experimental data. Bear in mind that herbicide performance will be different every year. Weather forecasters talk about the 30-year average because that is all we have for long-term predictions. However, there is no average year. The biological system is extremely complex, resulting in a huge number of constantly changing variables that will affect the way weeds and herbicides behave. MSMA Registration Update On January 16, 2009, the MAA Research Task Force (Task Force) signed an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that permits the continued use of MSMA. The details of the agreement and the conditions set forth for the various uses of the product are summarized below. MSMA use in turf is slated for registration removal by the EPA. For residential (includes parks and athletic fields) use, the following dates apply: After December 31, 2010, persons other than registrants (e.g., distributors) are prohibited from selling or distributing products for all uses EXCEPT cotton, sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way. 3
After December 31, 2010, existing stocks of products for all uses EXCEPT cotton, sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way that are already in the hands of users can be used until they are exhausted. Example: MSMA registered for any use other than golf courses, sod farms or highway rights-of-way cannot be sold or distributed after December 31, 2010, but existing stocks in the hands of users can be used until exhausted. For sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way, the following existing stocks dates apply: MSMA sold after December 31, 2010, will have new labeling restrictions for golf and sod use. Those restrictions will likely be: Golf courses: One broadcast application will be allowed on newly constructed courses. Application on existing courses will be limited to spot treatment (100 square foot per spot), not to exceed 25 percent of the total course in one year. Sod farms: Two broadcast applications will be allowed per crop. A 25-foot buffer strip will be required for those fields bordering permanent water bodies. Highway rights-of-way: Two broadcast applications will be allowed per year. A 100-foot buffer strip will be required adjacent to permanent water bodies. After December 31, 2012, registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products for use on sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way. After June 31, 2013, persons other than registrants (e.g., distributors) are prohibited from selling or distributing products for use on sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way. After December 31, 2013, use of products labeled for use on sod farms, golf courses and highway rights-of-way is prohibited. After December 31, 2013, the only use allowed is on cotton. Future decisions: The MAA Task Force (http://maatf.com/) strongly believes there is growing scientific evidence that low doses of inorganic arsenic do not pose a concern to human health or to the environment. If an EPA science review, to convene in 2012, concurs with this position, then inorganic arsenic resulting from uses of MSMA will not pose a concern, and the Task Force will petition for restoration of some or all MSMA uses. 4

Control of Specific Weeds Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua) Bermudagrass Fairways, Not Overseeded: One of the cheapest and easiest ways to control Poa annua is to use glyphosate at 1 pt/acre while is completely dormant. Completely is the key word. Revolver (foramsulfuron) at 17.4 fl oz/acre, TranXit at 2 oz/acre, Katana at 1.5-3.0 oz/acre or Monument at 0.56 oz/acre will provide postemergence Poa annua control without damaging partially green. Do not treat areas that drain onto cool-season grasses with Katana, Kerb, Monument, Revolver or TranXit. Avoid tracking spray onto cool-season grasses with equipment or feet. Princep Liquid (simazine) and Aatrex 4L (atrazine) are very effective as late fall or early winter treatments. In areas with heavy leaf fall, it may be necessary to apply before leaves begin to drop. Do not apply atrazine or simazine upslope from desirable cool-season grasses. Sencor is more effective on large Poa annua than simazine. Kerb applied at 1.0 to 1.5 lb ai/acre is effective but slow. It will give preemergence and postemergence control. Bentgrass Putting Greens: Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) is the most troublesome winter weed in golf greens. It tolerates low mowing and compaction and thrives in the moist conditions found on putting greens. There is no magic bullet for annual bluegrass control, and it is practically impossible to completely eradicate. That said, there are several options available to help superintendents manage annual bluegrass. The traditional approach of using preemergence herbicides Dimension (dithiopyr), Goosegrass/Crabgrass Control (bensulide + oxadiazon) and Betasan (bensulide) has the shortcoming of failing to control the perennial type, Poa annua var. reptans. In fact, a preemergence program may encourage the proliferation of perennial biotypes by eliminating the annual type. Fall and spring applications over many consecutive years are needed for suppression and control. An option that has shown promise is the use of growth regulators such as Trimmit (paclobutrazol) or Cutless (flurprimidol). These products are used in conversion programs designed to gradually eliminate annual bluegrass. This approach requires patience, consistency and a management program designed to favor the desirable turfgrass. Two applications of Trimmit at 0.25 lb ai/acre in the fall followed by two to three applications in the spring seem to be the best program. Success has also been reported with Cutless (flurprimidol). Bahiagrass Manor or Blade (metsulfuron) is a good choice for bahiagrass control in centipedegrass and. Bermudagrass and St. Augustinegrass have more metsulfuron tolerance than centipedegrass and. In make two applications of metsulfuron three to four weeks apart at 1 oz/acre. Do not use more than 0.25 oz/acre of metsulfuron on centipedegrass for bahiagrass control. In MSMA/DSMA-tolerant grasses, repeat applications at seven- to ten-day intervals will suppress bahiagrass. Begin after full green-up in the spring. At least three applications are needed. In two applications of Segment three weeks apart will suppress bahiagrass growth and seedhead development. In or repeat applications of Fusilade II or Acclaim Extra may be used. Monument (trifloxysulfuron) will provide bahiagrass suppression in or. Bermudagrass While is our most commonly used turfgrass, it is also a difficult-to-control weed in other turfgrasses. Preplant Control: The most effective way to control is with preplant application of the soil fumigant methyl bromide. If fumigation is not an option, make three applications of glyphosate (3 lb/gal ae) at 3 qt/acre over the growing season (May, July and September). Wait for regrowth before making the follow-up 10
applications. Our research shows that a tank mix of 3 qts glyphosate + 24 fl oz of Fusilade II will improve control over glyphosate alone. When using Fusilade, be aware that it will have some residual soil activity. Wait at least 30 days before replanting seeds after applying Fusilade. Bermudagrass Encroachment Into Bentgrass Putting Greens: A big nursery green and a sod cutter or large plugger may be your best friends in the battle against encroachment. Frequent mechanical edging of the putting green and resodding of infested areas should be part of an encroachment management program. Other approaches include installing a collar or a mechanical barrier made of plastic or metal. Zoysiagrass will encroach, but it is slower to do so than. Examine the carefully before installation to be certain it is free of. Avoid using aggressive cultivars such as El Toro or Palisades for collars. Tupersan and Prograss are most commonly used to slow encroachment in the collars of bentgrass greens. However, these herbicides will cause varying degrees of bentgrass injury. Tupersan is generally a little safer than Prograss. Applications should be made in the spring and/or fall (April/September) when bentgrass is actively growing and is less active. Suppression is temporary (up to three months) with these treatments. Tank mixes of Cutless with Tupersan or Prograss have sometimes given better results than Tupersan alone. Tupersan 50W is used in spring or fall at 8 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Repeat as needed and water in. With Prograss 1.5EC and Cutless 50W, make the first application in March/April at 3 oz + 0.6 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Repeat in 6 weeks at 1.7 oz + 0.14 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Repeat again in 30 days. Temporary turf discoloration will result. Bermudagrass Selective Suppression: In use Fusilade II (fluazifop) at 6 fl oz/acre to suppress. Adding Turflon Ester at 1 qt/acre to Fusilade II will improve turfgrass safety and control. Begin around June 1 and repeat every four weeks unless the has not recovered from the first application. Zoysiagrass growing in the shade is more susceptible to injury. Do not allow drift onto bentgrass putting greens. Do not apply Fusilade II after September 15 to avoid injury to. In or repeat applications of Acclaim Extra (fenoxaprop) at 28 oz/acre or 6 oz/acre of Fusilade II at 28- to 35-day intervals during the summer months provide suppression. Adding Turflon Ester at 1 qt/acre to Fusilade II or Acclaim Extra will improve turfgrass safety and control. Do not tank mix Acclaim Extra with phenoxy herbicides. Do not use on seedling fescues less than four weeks old. In perennial ryegrass and perennial bluegrass, Turflon Ester at 1 qt/acre will provide suppression. Tank mixing Turflon Ester with Acclaim Extra will result in better control. Repeat applications at three- to four-week intervals will be needed. In Segment may be used at 1.5 to 2.25 pt/acre to suppress bahiagrass and other weedy grasses. Do not apply Segment sooner than three weeks after green-up and more than twice per season. Do not tank mix Segment with other pesticides or fertilizers. Dallisgrass Dallisgrass is a warm-season perennial with an extensive root system. It may be controlled in with repeated applications of MSMA. Five applications of MSMA at five- to seven-day intervals are necessary with applications starting in May. Staying on schedule is important. Dallisgrass should be actively growing at the time of application. Tank mixing Sencor (0.25 lb/ac) or Dismiss (8 fl oz/ac) with MSMA may improve control. In some studies, applying MSMA, waiting two weeks, then spot treating with Revolver (foramsulfuron), followed by a second MSMA application one week later has improved control. Another option is spot treatment with glyphosate. Obviously, this is going to kill some of the desirable grass and leave big, brown spots in the turf. Two applications of glyphosate are needed. Apply the first after active growth begins in May, 11
and spray again when regrowth appears. This will take most of the summer. Use a 1% to 2% (1.33 to 2.33 fl oz of glyphosate/gal of water) spray solution plus 0.5% non-ionic surfactant. Keep the glyphosate spray off non-target plants. Doveweed and Spreading Dayflower Products containing atrazine or simazine, foramsulfuron (Revolver) or metsulfuron (Manor or Blade) applied twice 30 days apart will control doveweed and spreading dayflower. Prompt (a pre-mix of atrazine and bentazon) also works well for controlling doveweed and spreading dayflower. Tank mixes of MSMA or DSMA with Sencor or multiple applications of two- or three-way herbicide mixtures also provide good control but also can cause phytotoxicity to certain turfgrass species. Tank mixing pyraflufen-ethyl (Octane), carfentrazone (Quicksilver) or sulfentrazone (Dismiss) with these products increases and hastens their activity. Repeat applications of all herbicides or combinations will be needed for complete control. Dimethenamid (Tower) can be used for preemergence control. Goosegrass Ronstar (oxadiazon) is one of the most consistent products for preemergence control of goosegrass. Our research has shown that the first Ronstar application should be made between March 15 and April 1 at 3 lb ai/acre. It is necessary to apply by March 1 if crabgrass is part of the weed population on the site. Combinations such as Ronstar + pendimethalin and Regalstar II (oxadiazon + prodiamine) are also good choices. Sequential applications of preemergence herbicides are important when trying to control goosegrass. Make the second application 60 days after the first. Postemergence controls include Illoxan 3EC at 1 to 1.4 qt/acre, Sencor (0.19 lb/acre) + MSMA (2.0 lb/acre) and Revolver at 17 to 26 oz/acre. Fusilade 2EC (4 to 6 oz/acre), Acclaim Extra (13 to 39 oz/acre) or Dismiss 4L at 8 oz/acre applied twice, 10 days apart. Illoxan and Revolver may be used on greens. Avoid treating drought- and heat-stressed turf. Ground Ivy This is a tough weed in the mint family usually found growing in the shade in thin stands of turfgrass. In warm-season and cool-season turfgrass, herbicide options include three-way products containing 2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba and products containing triclopyr or 2,4-DP. Confront (triclopyr + clopyralid) is a good choice on approved sites. Confront is not labeled for use in home lawns. Escalade II, Momentum FX2 or T-Zone should be good options for ground ivy. Metsulfuron (Manor or Blade) at 0.5-1.0 oz/acre is another good option for use in warm-season grasses only. Knotweed Manor or Blade (metsulfuron) provides good control. When using three-ways (2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba), repeat applications are usually needed. Other options include triclopyr alone or in combination with clopyralid or 2,4-D. Atrazine, simazine and metribuzin also provide control. Kyllinga Monument at 0.56 oz/acre or Certainty at 1.25 oz/acre provides excellent kyllinga control. Two applications of MSMA five to seven days apart at 2.5 lb ai/acre are very effective for kyllinga control in tolerant grasses. SedgeHammer (halosulfuron), while less effective on kyllinga, is safe to use on all turfgrasses. Two applications of Dismiss about three weeks apart (8 fl oz/acre followed by 4 fl oz/acre) provide excellent kyllinga control. Among these products labeled for kyllinga control, only Monument and MSMA are labeled for use in putting greens. 12
Lespedeza, Common or Annual 2,4-D alone will not control lespedeza or white clover. Products containing metsulfuron, fluroxypyr or triclopyr are very effective on most legumes. Escalade II, Confront and metsulfuron (Manor or Blade) are good lespedeza control products. When using three-ways (2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba), repeat applications are usually needed. Lespedeza is often an indicator of insufficient nitrogen fertilization. Moss Silver thread moss (Bryum argentum) is the species most commonly found on putting greens. Silver thread moss has been found to be viable after two years of desiccation. Mosses are primitive plants with no vascular system (xylem and phloem). They reproduce by spores spread by wind and water movement. Mosses are able to photosynthesize, fix nitrogen and are, therefore, not parasitic. Moss mats tend to develop during the summer in wet, heavily shaded areas following a period of warm, overcast rainy days. Cultural Control: Control requires a persistent, long-term approach combining cultural and chemical control methods. It is important to realize that only a thick, healthy turf will cure and prevent recurrence of moss. Key objectives are reducing surface moisture and improving air circulation and light exposure. This may require removing adjacent underbrush and selective trees. Improve surface and subsurface drainage and decrease irrigation frequency and amount as well as reduce nitrogen application frequency or rate. If the moss covers a large area, spiking, verticutting and topdressing will help break up and dry the moss mat. Moss turning orange or golden brown indicates that desiccation is occurring. Raising mowing height encourages turf growth and helps reduce the problem. Quicksilver T&O (carfentrazone) at 2.0 to 6.7 oz per acre in 100 GPA when temperatures are less than 85 F provides excellent moss control. Poa annua may be injured at rates greater than 2.0 oz per acre. Bentgrass has excellent tolerance for Quicksilver. Do not apply to desirable hybrid. Quicksilver does not control algae. Another less effective treatment is Daconil Weather Stik at 4 oz/1,000 sq ft applied every seven days for three weeks or Daconil Zn at 6 oz/1,000 sq ft applied twice at two-week intervals. Daconil should be applied at 5 to 10 gallons per 1,000 sq ft and allowed to dry on the leaf surface. Air temperature should be at least 85 F at the time of application. Daconil will not work during cool weather. Poa annua see annual bluegrass Purple Nutsedge Monument at 0.56 oz/acre, Katana at 3.0 oz/acre or Certainty at 1.25 oz/acre may be used for purple nutsedge control in and. Make a repeat application six to eight weeks after the first. Two applications of SedgeHammer 75 DF at the 1.33 oz/acre rate four to six weeks apart provide suppression for most of the growing season. The spot treatment rate for SedgeHammer is 0.9 gram per gallon. SedgeHammer is not labeled for golf greens. SedgeHammer is safe on all turfgrasses. Image 70 DG (imazaquin) is an effective herbicide for suppressing sedges in turfgrass. It is approved for use on, St. Augustinegrass and centipedegrass. The recommended rate is 0.26 oz of product per 1,000 sq ft (11.4 oz/acre). A repeat application will be needed for full-season suppression. Repeat the application in four to six weeks or when regrowth appears. A tank mix of 0.5 lb/acre of Image + 2.0 lb/acre MSMA has given better suppression than either product alone. Do not use the MSMA tank mix on St. Augustinegrass or centipedegrass. Image + MSMA will cause significantly more injury to than to. Dismiss South (sulfentrazone + imazethapyr) at 14.4 oz/acre can also be used to control purple nutsedge. When using Dismiss South, be aware that the coarse-leaved Zoysia japonica cultivars tend to be more herbicide tolerant than the fine-leaved Z. matrella types. 13
Ryegrass Clumps When applied to dormant glyphosate 4L at 16 oz/acre, Revolver at 17.4 oz/acre, TranXit at 2 oz/acre, Manor or Blade at 1 oz/acre, Certainty at 1.25 oz/acre, Katana at 1.5 to 3.0 oz/acre and Monument at 0.56 oz/acre all give good clumpy ryegrass control. All clumpy ryegrass is not the same. Mowing height and perennial age of the clumps are two factors that influence control. Clumps that are mowed at 1/2 inch or less and have not been established for years are easier to manage. Roundup (glyphosate) can be used to spot treat ryegrass clumps in dormant but should not be used in dormant. Sandbur Sandbur (Cenchrus spp.) is a prolific seed producer that germinates all summer. Seed are comparatively large and will emerge from greater depths than crabgrass or goosegrass. Sandbur may also behave as a perennial, making the use of a postemergence herbicide such as MSMA essential in sandbur control. Treat when the sandbur is small. In centipedegrass use Segment 1L at 2 pt/acre. Repeat in 21 days. In fescue or, make repeat applications of Acclaim Extra at 24 fl oz/acre or Fusilade T&O at 5 to 6 oz/acre on 30-day intervals. Use only on fescue greater than four weeks old, start in spring during active growth, and discontinue during summer stress. Apply a preemergence herbicide such as Surflan (oryzalin), Pendulum (pendimethalin) or Barricade (prodiamine) between March 15 and April 1. A second preemergence application 60 days after the first will be beneficial. Preemergence herbicides should be watered-in immediately after application. Spurges Manor or Blade (metsulfuron) at 0.25 oz/acre is the best spurge control treatment. Corsair (chlorsulfuron) is also effective. When using three-ways (MCPP + dicamba + 2,4-D), repeat applications are usually needed. Sencor and dicamba do a better job on spurges than the three-ways, but they are not as effective as metsulfuron. Preemergence control with dinitroaniline herbicides (Barricade, Pendulum, etc.) is inconsistent. Simazine and atrazine are effective but have a short residual effect in the southern USA. Simazine and atrazine are not recommended during the summer months when spurges thrive. Spurweed or Lawn Burweed The preferred timing for an application of simazine to control winter annuals such as lawn burweed is some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This winter annual is relatively easy to eradicate. Timing is important in controlling this weed. Spraying after the spiny fruits have formed is often emotionally satisfying but is too late to be practical in a biological framework. Preemergence or postemergence applications of Princep Liquid (simazine) or AAtrex 4L (atrazine) provide excellent spurweed control. Rainfall or irrigation is needed to activate these herbicides. Other winter annuals controlled by this treatment are chickweed, henbit, annual bluegrass, Carolina geranium, parsley piert and corn speedwell. Because atrazine and simazine have some potential for tree and shrub damage, a very safe way to use them is to apply 1 lb ai/acre of either product in November followed by another 1 lb ai/acre application in March, if needed. Simazine tends to be less likely to leach through the soil profile than atrazine. If spurweed has already emerged at the time of application, these products will eventually kill it through root uptake. Sencor (metribuzin) provides excellent postemergence control of spurweed and many other winter annuals. Metribuzin may be applied to dormant or actively growing that is being maintained at mowing heights greater than 1/2 inch. Sencor may cause discoloration on actively growing turf. Do not apply more than twice per season. Rates are from 0.33 to 0.67 lb/acre. Add 0.5% non-ionic surfactant. Use only on. Sencor will seriously injure actively growing. Sencor is not for use on home lawns. 14
Metsulfuron (Manor or Blade) provides excellent postemergence control of spurweed. Repeat applications of three-ways (MCPP + dicamba + 2,4-D) are also an option. Tall Fescue Clumps Revolver at 26.2 oz/acre, Certainty at 1.25 oz/acre, TranXit at 2 to 4 oz/acre, Katana at 1.5 to 3.0 oz/acre or Monument at 0.56 oz/acre will control tall fescue. Monument and Revolver are for use on and only. TranXit and Certainty may be used on all warm-season turfgrass. Old clumps that are mowed high are difficult to control. Katana is possibly the most effective for removing tall fescue clumps but can only be used on and. Roundup (glyphosate) can be used to spot treat tall fescue clumps in dormant but should not be used in dormant. Tufted Lovegrass Tufted lovegrass can be a problematic weed on sod farms. The bare soil created by harvesting creates an ideal environment for weeds. Weeds by nature are the first colonizers of bare or disturbed soil. Tufted love - grass is a problem weed in sod production due to the bare soil left by harvesting. However, tufted lovegrass is never a problem in established grasses. Tufted lovegrass can be controlled preemergently with AAtrex, Bensumec, Dimension, Ronstar, Pendulum and Barricade. For postemergence control of tufted lovegrass in apply 2 to 4 fl oz of Tenacity (mesotrione) tank mixed with 0.25 to 0.5 lb per acre atrazine. Make two applications about 10 days apart. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Do not use Tenacity in or unless injury can be tolerated. Do not tank mix Tenacity with atrazine when spraying or. In our trials, recovered quickly from visual symptoms of Tenacity. However, it has taken up to six weeks for Meyer to be free of visual symptoms. Remember that visual symptoms are not always an accurate measure of the effect of an herbicide on the overall growth of a turfgrass. Test Tenacity on a limited area before using on larger areas since injury varies by cultivar. Two fl oz of Tenacity per acre followed by 2 fl oz per acre 10 days later is a reasonable starting point for evaluating Tenacity for lovegrass control in sensitive grasses. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Violets Manor or Blade (metsulfuron) is an effective violet control herbicide in St. Augustinegrass and. Products containing triclopyr and clopyralid (Confront, Turflon), 2,4-D + fluroxypyr + dicamba (Escalade 2) or triclopyr + phenoxy herbicides (Cool Power, HorsePower or Chaser) are fairly effective for violet control, and these products can be used on cool-season grasses such as tall fascue. Repeat applications are often required. Mid- to late fall applications are best followed by mid-spring to early summer applications. 2,4-D + 2,4-DP will provide partial control. Virginia Buttonweed Virginia buttonweed is a tap-rooted perennial that reproduces from fleshy roots, cut plant pieces and seed. None of the turf herbicides eradicates Virginia buttonweed. If there are only a few plants, dig them up. Remove all plant parts. Fill holes with clean soil and re-sod. The best you can hope for with herbicides is suppression through repeat applications of herbicides. Multiple applications of two-way or three-way (2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba) herbicides at intervals of three to six weeks do a decent job of suppressing buttonweed. Reapply when you see regrowth. Confront at 1 to 2 pt/acre or metsulfuron (Manor or Blade) at 0.5 to 1.0 oz/acre has been fairly effective on Virginia buttonweed. Products containing fluroxypyr such as Escalade II or Momentum FX2 are equally effective. As with other herbicides, repeat applications are necessary. Repeat applications (eight weeks apart) of Monument at 0.56 oz/acre have given season-long suppression of Virginia buttonweed four years out of five in Arkansas research trials. 15
Wild Garlic (Wild Onion) Manor or Blade (metsulfuron) and Certainty (sulfosulfuron) are very effective for wild garlic control. Apply in late February or early March on a warm (at least 50 F), sunny day when there is good soil moisture. Metsulfuron also controls most of the common winter weeds such as henbit, chickweed and parsley piert. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Unlike Image and the 2,4-D related products, Metsulfuron does not delay spring transition of partially green. Corsair also has good activity on wild garlic. Image is very effective for wild garlic control. Two applications are required. Make the first application of 8.6 oz/acre (0.2 oz/1,000 sq ft) during November or December and follow it with an 8.6 oz/acre (0.2 oz/1,000 sq ft) application in March. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Apply on a warm (at least 50 F), sunny day when there is good soil moisture. Image also controls some of the common winter annual weeds such as henbit, chickweed and parsley piert. Another option is use of either 2,4-D LV ester or one of the various combinations of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba (Trimec, Triplet, etc.) available. These products are the least effective and require three applications to eliminate garlic. Make the first treatment in November, repeat in March and then again the following November. Do not treat 2,4-D-sensitive grasses such as centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass unless they are dormant. The ester formulations of 2,4-D are more effective against garlic. Yellow Nutsedge Monument at 0.56 oz/acre, Katana at 3.0 oz/acre or Certainty at 1.25 oz/acre may be used for yellow nutsedge control in and. Repeat application if regrowth appears. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Basagran T/O (bentazon) may be used for yellow nutsedge control on all turfgrasses grown in Arkansas. Apply at the four- to six-leaf stage of nutsedge growth. Apply when the temperature is at least 75 F. Add crop oil or surfactant to Basagran. Complete coverage is essential. Repeat the application in 7 to 10 days. Product rates for Basagran are 0.75 to 1.5 fl oz/1,000 sq ft or 2 to 5 pt/acre. Do not apply more than 6 pt/acre of Basagran in one season. SedgeHammer 75 DF (halosulfuron) is an excellent nutsedge herbicide with very good turfgrass safety. It is approved for use on all turfgrasses in Arkansas. It is effective on purple nutsedge, yellow nutsedge and kyllinga. SedgeHammer is a foliar herbicide that should be applied to nutsedge in the three- to eight-leaf stage. The rate is 1.33 oz/acre. Make a second application in four to six weeks or when regrowth appears. Add 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. Do not mow for two days before and two days after application. For spot treatment, mix 0.9 gram of SedgeHammer in one gallon of water with 1/3 fl oz non-ionic surfactant. Image 70 DG (imazaquin) is an effective herbicide for suppressing purple or yellow nutsedge in turfgrass. It is approved for use on, St. Augustinegrass and centipedegrass. The recommended rate is 0.26 oz of product per 1,000 sq ft (11.4 oz/acre). A repeat application will probably be needed for fullseason suppression. Make the repeat application in four to six weeks or when regrowth appears. A tank mix of Image + 2.0 lb/acre MSMA has given better suppression than either product alone. Do not use the MSMA tank mix on St. Augustinegrass or centipedegrass. Image + MSMA will cause injury for a longer term to than. Meyer and El Toro are more tolerant of MSMA than Emerald or Matrella es. Products containing sulfentrazone (Dismiss) can also provide preemergence and postemergence suppression of annual sedge and yellow nutsedge. Dimethenamid (Tower) provides fair preemergence control of sedges. 16

Apply to actively growing when seedheads appear. Avoid cultivation for seven days after application. Do not get spray on ornamentals. For control, apply three applications of glyphosate (3 lb/gal ae) at 3 qt/acre over the growing season (May, July and September). Wait for regrowth before making the follow-up applications. Our research shows that a tank mix of 3 qt of glyphosate + 24 fl oz of Fusilade II will improve control over glyphosate alone. When using Fusilade, be aware that it will have some residual soil activity. Wait at least 30 days before replanting seeds. 17

Space applications one month apart. Do not exceed 1.0 gallon/acre/year. Apply in combination with a non-burning fertilizer. Water-in with at least 0.25 inch of irrigation within 24 hours of application. In spring, apply at least one month before onset of high temperatures. Do not use on areas containing more than 70% Poa annua. Do not use more than 0.25 lb active ingredient per acre on bentgrass. Research has shown that application of a sterol-inhibiting fungicide (DMI) two weeks after each paclobutrazol application may improve control. This program is designed to encourage a gradual transition from Poa annua to bentgrass and will take repeat applications over several years. Make the first application in April using 3.0 fl oz Prograss 1.5EC + 0.6 oz Cutless 50W when is breaking dormancy. Make the second application six weeks later (1.7 oz + 0.14 oz) followed by third and fourth applications spaced three weeks apart. The first treatment supplies temporary suppression. Repeat treatments are needed to maintain suppression. Approximately 30 percent discoloration and thinning may follow high rate but should recover within three weeks. The effectiveness of this treatment for encroachment is variable. Make the first application in late April when begins to grow. A typical schedule would be April + May + early June and then late September + October + November. Apply on an 8- to 12-inch band using a single nozzle. Failing to start early when is breaking dormancy will reduce the chances of success. Water-in with at least 0.5 inch of water within three days of application. 40

Use Embark T&O at 0.5 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft on a two-week spray application interval starting before seedhead emergence in the spring for seedhead suppression of annual bluegrass in creeping bentgrass. Apply the 5 fl oz/acre rate if more than 50% annual bluegrass in creeping bentgrass putting greens. Apply the 10 fl oz/acre rate if less than 50% annual bluegrass in creeping bentgrass putting greens. Higher rates (15 to 30 fl oz/acre) can be used on Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. Spray interval will vary between two to six weeks depending upon desirable growth suppression, rate and other factors. Do not seed three weeks before or after application. Do not apply to turf under temperature, moisture or pest stress. Do not apply more than 350 fl oz of Legacy per acre per year. Apply in the spring after turf resumes active growth. Make last application four weeks before the onset of inactive grass growth. Foliar-absorbed and rainfast within one hour. Apply 3 oz/acre for Tifdwarf greens and 6 oz/acre for Tifgreen. A typical program for a Tifway or common fairway would be 11 fl oz of Primo 1EC per acre starting around June 1 and repeated at four-week intervals through the peak growing season. Rates for fairways should be 6 to 8 oz/acre for Meyer and 8 to 10 oz/acre for El Toro. Do not mow 12 hours before or after application to minimize injury. May also be used as a winter overseeding aid to retard and allow overseeded cool-season grasses to become established. Apply 22 oz/acre one to five days before overseeding and before verticutting, scalping or spiking. Do not add a surfactant. To extend the life of painted lines on sports fields, add 1 oz Primo 1EC or 1/2 oz Primo 25 WSB to each gallon of marking paint. Extends life of lines 7 to 14 days on cool-season and up to 30 days on warm-season grasses. A lower rate may be used in athletic field paint depending on the paint application rate.

Useful for annual bluegrass seedhead suppression. Make the initial application prior to the emergence of new seedheads. Do not exceed 30 fl oz/1,000 ft 2 per year. Apply after uniform spring green-up but prior to seedhead emergence. Suppresses vegetative growth and seedhead development. If seedheads have already formed, mow one week after application to remove emerged seedheads. Recommended for turfgrasses on difficult-to-mow sites. Not recommended for turfgrasses when maintained under intensive management systems. Remove clippings prior to application. Do not apply to turf less than three years old and delay reseeding for three days. DO NOT add a surfactant. Maleic hydrazide requires a 12-hour rain-free period for optimum activity. Apply 10 grams ai/acre weekly or 25 grams ai/acre every two weeks in 25 to 100 GPA to promote growth and prevent discoloration during periods of cold stress and light frost on putting greens or other areas. Do not apply when night temperatures exceed 65 F. This product can reverse the effects of gibberellic acid, inhibiting plant growth regulators such as Primo. Not for residential use. Do not use on putting greens. Use on actively growing turf. Apply when annual bluegrass is actively growing. Repeated applications in the spring and fall will suppress annual bluegrass in creeping bentgrass. Do not use on areas where greater than 70% annual bluegrass is present. Do not use more than 4 quarts per acre per year. 49
