Crabgrass Control and Turf InjUry'·- Established ''l\irf i~. ZiY'tron (Dow Crabgrass Killer) and dacthal (Rid) gave 96%and 100% control) respectively. When double the recommended rate was used, 100%control was obtained with both materials. However, 8'l1ght to moderate turf injury occurred when these rates Were used (zytrolt' caused some thinning of the turf at the normal rate ofappl1cation). 'l\u'(;:1njury, in this case, ' was expressed by the failure of the red fescue and'bentgrass populations to fully recover following the pre-application thinnfUei and mowing treatments. 491 The same materials used in experimental triaJ,.s on establisHed turf were also used in the pre-emer~nce crabgrass cort~ol trials on poor turf. The results were similar to that which occurred on 'established turf, although in some cesea, the reduction in crabgrass populations was not as great. The most notable exel!1Ples of this were ,With chlordane-{Halts) and with the t arsenical-fertilizer formula.tion (Pax). Crabgrass control with chlordane was reduced from 91%in established turf to 61%in the poor turf areas, with a similar decrease (95%to 7l'{o) observed for the e..rselilical-fertilizer fQ1'IIlUlation (Pax). Calcium propyl arsonate (No-Crab) tUid diphenatrile (Agrico crabgrass control) gave n greater crabgrass control, than that found in
