Abstract:The establishment and culture of grass often is hazardous. Areas planted to grass usually are not fallowed, so that grass seedlings succumb to weedy competition. Where competition is introduced by seeding aggressive annuals in the same mixture with perennial plants, it usually is necessary to limit the competition of the annuals in order to achieve a cover of the perennials. Pre-emergence weed control has not been widely used in grass seedings. Paraquat on 1 pound per acre or dalapon at 15 pounds per acre successfully reduced the competition from annual ryegrass and substantially increased stands of bermudagrass. Dalapon, because of its residual effects, should be applied at least 30 days before the expected germination of desired grasses. The results of this research should be projected to control volunteer weeds in a grass seeding, to control aggressive annuals from the seeding mixture in the transition from a temporary to a permanent cover, and to renovate established sods.
