Abstract

Fall treatments with 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine) as opposed to cultivation during the growing season reduced hand labor requirements more than 70% for weed control in Japanese holly (Ilex crenata Thumb. Rotundifolia Hort.). The response of Japanese holly to simazine varied from superior growth and quality to severe injury and death. Simazine plus 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (amitrole) resulted in better control of small weeds than simazine alone in late winter or early spring. Dimethyl 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA), N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid), and 2,6-dichlobenzonitrile (dichlobenil) reduced labor requirements for control of annual weeds without any visual response on the Japanese holly. In certain instances, rotations of herbicides were effective for broad spectrum weed control.
