Lawn Weeds in Alaska

Many different kinds of plants usually grow in close association with each other in nature. Woodlands, roadsides, mountain slopes, marshlands-almost all places not closely attended by man have their own complex plant associations. A lawn comprised of only one or a few grass species is an unnatural, artificial situation. Accordingly, lawns can be kept attractive only by diligent efforts to eliminate undesirable plants and to prevent the natural invasion of turfs by unwanted plants. This battle must be renewed each year. Knowledge of the habits and weaknesses of weeds enables the lawnkeeper to vanquish these foes in every encounter, usually with little expenditure of effort

Weed Control Options for Residential Lawns in Utah

An important aspect of landscape maintenance includes suppressing lawn weeds, including broadleaf and grassy forms, which may disrupt the uniformity of turf. Weed prevention through proper turf establishment and maintenance is the best practical approach for long-term weed control, and is less expensive than controlling weeds later. This fact sheet discusses using best management practices such as proper mowing height along with irrigation and nutrient management, and In certain situations, herbicides

Response of Seven Woody Ornamentals to Turfgrass Herbicide Applications of Arylex, Penoxsulam, and Pyrimisulfan

Continued testing of turf-applied herbicides are being conducted to ensure off-target plant injury does not occur in the landscape. Results indicate high herbicide safety on select landscape ornamentals with new herbicides used to manage weeds in turf

Stop Lawn Pests!

Your first line of defense against weeds, diseases and other pests is a good dense turf. No lawn is immune to these pests, but they needn\u27t spoil the uniformity and appearance of your turf. Here\u27s what to do

The Effects of Turf Compression on Plants Growth Regulator Efficacy

A 150kg lawn roller was used in combination with various Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) (Embark & Event, Event & Oust, Embark & Oust, Escort & Oust, Telar & Oust, Event & Balan, Oust & Balan, and Balan) to evaluate its affects on the growth rate of rough turf at the Coles County Airport. The rolled plots were evaluated for height, reduction of seedheads, phytotoxicity, and weed control. Rolling was of no significance to treated or untreated turf. PGR combinations containing Oust were significantly better at reducing turf height than combinations lacking Oust. PGR combinations lacking Oust discolored turf significantly less than the PGR combinations containing Oust. Escort & Oust proved to be significantly better at controlling weeds than the other combinations. However by the end of the experiment, most of the weeds had recovered. Oust combinations were significantly better at inhibition of seedheads than those combinations without
