Loose Silky Bentgrass (Apera spica-venti) Control in Fall Rye (Secale cereale)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Field experiments were conducted over a 3-yr period to evaluate the efficacy and crop yield response of selected herbicides to control loose silky bentgrass in fall rye. Loose silky bentgrass was controlled 18 to 100% with trifluralin preemergence incorporated at 0.4 to 0.6 kg ai ha-1, chlorsulfuron preemergence at 0.024 kg ha-1 and metsulfuron early postemergence at 0.006 to 0.024 kg ha-1. Rye yield was unaffected by these herbicides 2 of 3 yr. In a farm demonstration trial trifluralin preemergence incorporated at 0.4 kg/ha controlled loose silky bentgrass.
