Abstract

Imazethapyr, glyphosate-isopropylamine salt, and glyphosate-sodium sesqui salt plus 2,4-D injured bahiagrass severely for 4 to 6 wk after treatment (WAT) but effectively controlled seedheads for 10 WAT without permanently reducing turf density. Imazethapyr applied twice at 0.08 kg ha-1 suppressed vegetative growth of mowed bahiagrass by 5 WAT while unmowed turf was suppressed 62% by 6 WAT. Glyphosate-isopropylamine salt suppressed vegetative growth by 3 WAT, but did not consistently suppress unmowed bahiagrass. Bahiagrass treated with glyphosate-sodium sesqui salt injured bahiagrass more than glyphosate-isopropylamine salt when each was applied at the same rate. CGA 163935 suppressed bahiagrass seedheads for 8 WAT and vegetative growth from 2 to 4 WAT. The activity of mefluidide, MON 4620 plus paclobutrazol, paclobutrazol plus mefluidide, and flurprimidol plus mefluidide was minimal on bahiagrass.
