Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Experimentals were conducted over 2 years at four locations in Alabama to evaluate several herbicides for seedhead suppression in tall fescue turfs. Herbicides showing good activity (more than 50 percent seedhead reduction) included Sulfometuron, Metsulfuron, Chlorsulfuron at 1/8 to 3/4 oz a.i. (active ingredient) per acre, and Glyphosate at 4 to 8 oz a.i. per acre. Rates of Sulfometuron, Metsulfuron, and Chlorsulfuron as low as 1/8 oz a.i. per acre were effective in reducing seedheads. There was no difference between results for March 15 applications and those made on March 30 at the same location. Combinations of Glyphosate and Sulfometuron were not more efficacious than Sulfometuron applied alone at the same rate. The amount of seedhead suppression was highly correlated to the amount of injury to the tall fescue stands as reflected in appearance ratings. Injury to tall fescue stands from repeated annual use could be unacceptable in some instances.
