Abstract

Field experiments were conducted in 1989 and 1990 to evaluate the tolerance of ‘Penncross' creeping bentgrass and ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass fall-overseeded with perennial ryegrass to irrigation water containing simazine. Creeping bentgrass was more sensitive to simazine than the bermudagrass/ryegrass mixture. The predicted critical simazine concentration necessary to reduce creeping bentgrass quality ≤ 60% was 0.22 mg L–1 which corresponded to a cumulative simazine rate of 98 g ha–1. For bermudagrass/ryegrass, the predicted critical simazine concentration and cumulative simazine rate that reduced quality ≤ 60% was 0.68 mg L–1 and 306 g ha–1, respectively.
