Confirming Resistance To Prodiamine And Glyphosate In A Single Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua L.) Biotype From Tennessee, Shane Matthew Breeden Dec 2015

Confirming Resistance To Prodiamine And Glyphosate In A Single Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua L.) Biotype From Tennessee, Shane Matthew Breeden

Masters Theses

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.; POAAN) is a cool-season weed that commonly infests warm-season turfgrasses during winter dormancy. In spring 2012, poor POAAN control (<50%) was reported on golf course roughs in Alcoa, TN (35.75 °N, -83.88 °W) following treatment with a tank mixture of prodiamine (1120 g ha-1[hectare]) and glyphosate (840 g ae ha-1) during bermudagrass dormancy. The objective of this research was to determine if this POAAN biotype was resistant to prodiamine and glyphosate.

Using mature plants from the field, 81 of the 100 selections were not controlled by glyphosate and prodiamine; 96 of the 100 selections were not controlled by glyphosate, while 84 were unaffected by prodiamine. Only a single plant sampled was susceptible to both herbicides. …


Crabgrass Control In Spring Seeding Using Early And Late Combinations Of Prodiamine And Dithiopyr, J. Hoyle, J. Reeves Jan 2015

Crabgrass Control In Spring Seeding Using Early And Late Combinations Of Prodiamine And Dithiopyr, J. Hoyle, J. Reeves

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

With less crabgrass pressure, the Kansas site showed an inhibitory effect of pre-emergent herbicides on spring tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) seeding and establishment. However, at the Nebraska site, greater crabgrass pressure showed a benefit of pre-emergent herbicide use in new spring seeding of tall fescue.
