Abstract

Field studies were conducted during the 2000 and 2001 growing seasons to evaluate imazapic plus 2,4-D for weed control and bermudagrass tolerance. Imazapic at 140 g ai/ha plus 2,4-D at 280 g ai/ha or greater controlled dallisgrass at least 82% and provided at least 90% control of field sandbur, johnsongrass, and field mint. A mixed stand of Texas panicum and large crabgrass was controlled less than 75% and bahiagrass less than 25% with all rates of imazapic plus 2,4-D. Coastal bermudagrass injury was greater than 24% at three of four locations and Tifton 85 injury was greater than 50% at 3 wk after treatment with rates of imazapic plus 2,4-D as low as 70 plus 140 g/ha. Coastal bermudagrass yield was reduced at the first cutting with imazapic plus 2,4-D at 140 plus 210 g/ha and 240 plus 420 g/ha. Imazapic plus 2,4-D at 200 plus 350 g/ha reduced Tifton 85 forage production at the first two cuttings.
