SLIDE CONTENTS
  1. Herbicide Effects on Ryegrass Transition to Bermudagrass Tim Murphy The University of Georgia
  2. Transition Issues Heat tolerance of ryegrass Renegade ryegrass Poa trivialis lives longer than expected Competition to bermudagrass Long-term effects on bermudagrass When do you accelerate transition?
  3. Bermudagrass Growth Minimal root growth < 50 F. soil temp. Optimum root growth 75-85 F. soil temp. Shoot growth ceases < 55 F. air temp. Optimum shoot growth 80-95 F. Need night air temps. of mid-60s F. 100+ growing days
  4. Chemical Aids for Transition Herbicides PGRs Delay application until bermudagrass is in active spring growth. No green-brown-green!! Need green-green
  5. Atlanta Athletic Club Project ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass fairway Seeded 9/26/99 with 85/15 MarvelGreen/Laser mix Clipping height - 5/16 inch Irrigated as needed
  6. Atlanta Athletic Club Project Herbicides and PGRs applied May 8, 2000 50/50 density of bermudagrass and ryegrass Overall turf quality, bermuda and ryegrass density recorded at 7, 14 and 30 DAT
  7. Manor
  8. MANOR ON TRANSITION 0.33 0.5 1.0 UTC
  9. Sencor and Corsair
  10. SENCOR ON TRANSITION 0.33 0.66 UTC
  11. CORSAIR ON TRANSITION 1.0 oz. 2.0 oz. UTC
  12. Kerb and Embark Turf Quality
  13. KERB ON TRANSITION 1.5 lb. 3.0 lb. UTC
  14. EMBARK ON TRANSITION 6.0 oz. 8.0 oz. UTC
  15. CONCLUSIONS Manor - good to excellent bermuda tolerance, causes light green color, reduces ryegrass density, minimum rate is 0.5 oz. Corsair - excellent bermuda tolerance, not as effective as Manor, Kerb and Sencor in reducing ryegrass
  16. CONCLUSIONS (cont.) Embark- excellent bermuda tolerance, no effect color, effectiveness on ryegrass is questionable, need research on repeat applications, earlier timings. Kerb - excellent bermuda tolerance, causes dark blue-green color, reduces ryegrass density, need research on lower rates, irrigation is critical
