19 Why are weeds present in turfgrass?
20 Why Weeds are Present in Turfgrass Weeds are the result of improperly managed turf.
21 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? 1. Turf species that is adapted to its environment Should you choose cool or warm season turf? Raleigh is in a transition zone where both grow pretty well but problems can occur with each Example: Tall fescue doesn t like 85+ degrees and warm humid conditions (susceptible to diseases). Bermuda can suffer winter kill in harsh winters and also cannot live in shade even with favorable temps.
22 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? 2. Turf mowed at proper height & frequency Tall fescue 3 Inch Turf Mowing Height Tall fescue / fine fescue / per. bluegrass mixtures

31 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? 3. Turf that is fertilized at the proper time with the proper rate and technique
32 Improper Boom Height
33 Equipment Too Big
34 Good coverage can be difficult when spreading granules with large equipment... On moderate / severe slopes On specially designed and maintained areas
35 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? Cool Season Turf Nitrogen Timings and Amounts For all cool season turf, start applications in September October and finish in February March. Do not apply nitrogen in the spring or summer because of disease concerns. 3 lbs of N per 1000 sq ft per year is sufficient.
36 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? Warm Season Turf Nitrogen Timings and Amounts Timings and rates vary between species, but generally start in the spring and fertilize through summer. Do not apply nitrogen in the fall or winter. Total N rates range from 0.5 lb per 1000 sq ft per year for centipedegrass to 6 lbs for hybrid bermuda.
37 What is Properly Managed Turfgrass? 4. Turf site that is well drained, noncompacted and receives adequate rainfall or irrigation If turf areas stay wet continuously, weeds such as nutsedge and kyllinga species will invade because they are better adapted to wet environments.
38 Weed Control Procedures A successful weed management strategy should integrate all of these procedures and not rely heavily on one. Preventative Mechanical Biological Cultural Chemical
39 Weed Control Procedures Preventative Good sanitation Clean mowers, tillage implements and other turf equipment before moving to new sites to remove weed seeds and vegetative material.
40 Weed Control Procedures Mechanical Physical removal by hand or tillage Effective on annual weeds when the growing point is removed or buried Ineffective on perennial weeds that have underground storage organs unless done repeatedly
41 Weed Control Procedures Mechanical Mowing Effective on many annual broadleaf weeds that have an upright growth habit Ineffective on common broadleaf weeds such as prostrate knotweed, spotted spurge and common lespedeza because of low growth Also ineffective on most grassy weeds
42 Weed Control Procedures Biological Biological weed control utilizes natural enemies such as insects, fungi, bacteria and nematodes. This method works very slowly and is generally limited to large rangeland areas where a single weed dominates and other control methods are not practical. Ex. thistle control in rangelands with weevils
43 Weed Control Procedures Biological Turf example with limited success: Xanthomonas campestris (bacteria) on annual bluegrass Mow and immediately apply bacteria which enters the cut surfaces to produce wilt which kills the plant Biologicals don t give rapid kill like chemicals, and are not enticing or practical for the turf industry. People usually want a quick fix.
44 Weed Control Procedures Cultural The best way to prevent weed problems in turf is to properly manage the turfgrass. Select an adapted grass species Mow at proper height and frequency Fertilize at proper time and rates Irrigate as needed in morning, not late evening Improve drainage by adding soil or soil mixes
45 Weed Control Procedures Chemical The quickest, practical way to prevent or control weeds in turf is to apply herbicides. Herbicides are short-term solutions. Results can be seen quickly, and people are happy. Herbicides do not correct the problem as to why weeds were present in the first place. As long as the problems are not corrected, the need for herbicides will exist.
46 JANUARY - MARCH Post control of annual bluegrass, wild garlic, winter annual and cool-season perennial broadleaf weeds Pre control of summer annual crabgrass, goosegrass and summer annual broadleaf weeds
47 Perennial and Winter Annual Broadleaf Weeds: Poa annua metribuzin (Sencor 75 Turf) 0.67 lb/acre chickweed sp., henbit, lawn burweed, corn speedwell glyphosate (Roundup Pro, Touchdown Pro) 1 pt/acre % v/v nonionic surfactant Dormant nonoverseeded bermuda only!

51 Cool Season Perennial and Winter Annual Broadleaf Weeds India mock strawberry Dandelion Curly dock Buckhorn plantain White clover Wild violet Yellow woodsorrel Carolina geranium Henbit Chickweed species Speedwell species Lawn burweed Field pansy Hairy bittercress Hop clover
52 Cool Season Perennial and Winter Annual Broadleaf Weed Control The majority of POST herbicides used for broadleaf weed control (perennial, summer AND winter annuals) fall under four herbicide families. 1. Phenoxys 2. Benzoic acids 3. Pyridines 4. Triazolinones
53 Phenoxys, Benzoic Acids and Pyridines All display similar characteristics. Are foliar and root absorbed herbicides Are growth regulator / hormone-type herbicides. Exhibit epinastic bending symptoms. Upper leaf surfaces grow faster than lower leaf surfaces, causing downward leaf curling or folding. Outer stem sections grow faster than inner stem sections, causing twisting or splitting.
54 Phenoxys, Benzoic Acids and Pyridines Common Name Trade Name Phenoxys: 2,4-D amine Weedar 64 dichlorprop Weedone 2,4-DP mecoprop MCPP 4K Benzoic acids: dicamba Banvel Pyridines: triclopyr Turflon Ester clopyralid Lontrel fluroxypyr Spotlight
55 Triazolinones These are cell membrane disrupters. Injury symptoms include initial stunting and gradual yellowing, followed by death. Common Name Trade Name Carfentrazone Quicksilver Sulfentrazone Dismiss
56 Pre crab and goose control Root Inhibitors Herbicide families include Dinitroaniline and Pyridine Affect cell division and cause root clubbing, even to tolerant turf Normal roots Do not use on athletic fields or other high traffic areas!!! Will control crab and goose very early post (1-4 leaf) Clubbed roots
57 Pre crab and goose control Athletic fields, worn turf, high traffic areas Shoot inhibitor herbicide: oxadiazole family Common name / Trade name: oxadiazon / Ronstar Inhibits photosynthesis does not inhibit root growth Absorbed through shoots only No post activity at all do not apply after germination!!
58 PRE Weed Management Strategies Summer Annual Broadleaf Weeds and Annual Sedge Many of the PRE summer annual grass herbicides have activity on small-seeded summer annual broadleaf weeds such as common lespedeza, spotted spurge and prostrate knotweed and also annual sedge. The timings are ideal for controlling many types of weeds with one product at one time if you can identify weed populations correctly.
59 PRE Weed Management Strategies Isoxaben (Gallery Dry Flowable) Gallery Dry Flowable is the only TRUE PRE broadleaf herbicide labeled in turfgrasses. This herbicide has very limited activity on grass plants. All established turfgrasses (cool and warm season) are tolerant.
60 APRIL JUNE Post control of summer annual and perennial Grassy weeds Broadleaf weeds Sedge and kyllinga weeds Post control of perennial ryegrass (a cool season perennial) ***Pre control of crabgrass when seeding, sprigging or sodding turf in spring
61 POST Weed Management Strategies Summer annual and warm season perennial weeds should be controlled when young, sometime in the spring (April June) BEFORE they begin producing seeds or reproductive structures. Why???
62 POST Weed Management Strategies Herbicides do not control weed seeds (they control weed seedlings and sometimes mature plants) and generally are very weak on translocating to reproductive structures!!! Seedling plants generally easier to control Less herbicide needed for control saving money Turfgrass has longer to recover from shading effects

64 Warm Season Perennial and Summer Annual Broadleaf Weeds Virginia buttonweed Spotted spurge Common lespedeza Prostrate knotweed Control with same post broadleaf herbicides discussed in Jan Mar section
65 Perennial Ryegrass Control Perennial ryegrass becomes a problem in overseeded bermudagrass turf in late spring (April through June). Bermudagrass struggles to greenup because of the competition from the ryegrass. Close mowing and hot temperatures will not completely eradicate this weed.
66 Per. Ryegrass Removal From Bermuda metribuzin (Sencor 75 Turf) Kills in 2 to 3 days - unattractive until fills in metsulfuron (Manor / Blade) + NIS rimsulfuron (TranXit GTA) + NIS trifloxysulfuron (Monument) + NIS foramsulfuron (Revolver) Kills in 2 to 3 weeks gaining favor pronamide (Kerb WSP) Kills in 4 to 6 weeks - smoothest transition
67 Preemergence Crabgrass Control in Newly Seeded Turf Mesotrione (Tenacity 4SC) 5 to 8 fl oz/a Apply to spring seeded tall fescue, Ky. bluegrass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass grown for sod. Apply at or right before seeding, not germination. If germinated, wait until turf is mowed twice or 4 weeks after emergence (whichever is longer).
68 Preemergence Crabgrass Control in Newly Sprigged Turf Oxadiazon (Ronstar 2G, 50WP) Apply to bermudagrass or zoysiagrass sprigs only.

71 Pre Winter Weed Control Winter Annual Weed Examples Grasses Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) Broadleaves Chickweed species Henbit Lawn burweed Speedwell species Knawel Hop clover
72 PRE Weed Management Strategies Winter Annual Grass and Broadleaf Weeds Use same herbicides for annual bluegrass control that were used for crabgrass and goosegrass Many of the PRE grass herbicides have activity on small-seeded winter annual broadleaf weeds such as common chickweed, henbit, lawn burweed, corn speedwell, knawel and hop clover. The timings are ideal for controlling many types of weeds with one product at one time if you can identify weed populations correctly.
73 PRE Weed Management Strategies Winter Annual Broadleaf Weeds Gallery Dry Flowable provides PRE control of winter annual broadleaf weeds such as Henbit Common chickweed Speedwell species
74 OCTOBER - DECEMBER Best time for post control of Winter annual and cool-season perennial broadlvs Wild garlic Annual bluegrass
75 Wild Garlic, Cool Season Perennial and Winter Annual Broadleaf Weeds (October December) Use products listed in the January March section Should work better (lower rates) on smaller weeds (annual seedlings and cool-season juveniles) Application timings are critical if turf is to be overseeded or established during this time
76 Post Annual Bluegrass and Winter Annual Broadleaf Weed Control Sulfonylurea herbicide family Certainty, Monument, Revolver, TranXit GTA Amino acid inhibitors Plants turn yellow, pink, then purple Work slowly, takes several weeks for full effects Monument + NIS Photo: April 2004
77 Post Winter Annual Broadleaf Weed and Annual Bluegrass Control atrazine and simazine control many common winter annual broadleaf weeds such as: Common chickweed Henbit Corn speedwell Lawn burweed Hop clover Many other broadleaf weeds listed on their labels.
78 Triazine Family Photosynthetic inhibitor Atrazine 2 qt/acre Photos Apr 11, 2005 Check Little barley, annual bluegrass, henbit, Brazilian catsear, Carolina geranium, mouseear chickweed, corn speedwell
79 Pre & Post Annual Bluegrass Control Pronamide (Kerb WSP) Apply to nonoverseeded warm-season turf only Highly mobile: rainfall or irrigation can cause to move if improperly timed

81 Herbicide Resistance Resistance The ability of some weeds in an existing population to withstand the effects of an applied herbicide when the population is normally susceptible.
82 Herbicide Resistance Resistant plants become a problem when the susceptible members of the population are killed by herbicide applications. The resistant plants escape, reproduce, and over time, can become the majority of the population. The susceptible plants eventually are replaced by the resistant plants.
83 Herbicide Resistance Resistance is encouraged when the same herbicide or herbicide family is used year after year for the same weed control. Two examples of herbicide resistant weeds: Goosegrass has been documented as becoming resistant to DNA herbicides. Annual bluegrass has been documented as becoming resistant to triazine herbicides.
84 Herbicide Resistance The way to avoid or delay herbicide resistance is to rotate not just herbicides from year to year, but also herbicide families! To best avoid the proliferation of resistant weeds, a different herbicide family should be used at least one year out of every four.
85 Herbicide Resistance Why would rotating herbicide families be a potential problem for turfgrass managers??? Several Reasons Turfgrasses are generally considered perennial plantings. They remain the same year after year. Depending on the turfgrass species, you may not have many effective available options to begin with. Some of your alternative options may not provide acceptable control.
86 Herbicide Resistance Why would rotating herbicide families be a potential problem for turfgrass managers??? Several Reasons Many turfgrass managers overseed. This common practice limits even further the number of available effective herbicides or herbicide families that can be applied safely.
