Abstract

Six herbicides were applied to young stands of Kentucky bluegrass at weekly intervals in treatments beginning 5, 7, 9 and 11 weeks after seeding bluegrass. In both years the arsenical containing herbicides were effective when applications were started 7, 9 or 11 weeks after seeding. Applications started five weeks after seeding were unsuccessful in 1962 but gave excellent control in 1963. Reduced stands of Kentucky bluegrass and generally poorer crabgrass control were obtained with phenyl mercuric acetate than with the arsenicals.
