-­ 306. c) Seedling toleranqe trials -­ XF-832: Seedling bent, blue and, rye grasses 'Were not injured when treated with .3/4or l~ Ib/lOOO sq ..ft., 3 or 6 weeks after seeding" Fescue and clover were injured somewhat at both rates. 14hile this chamical is intended as a pre-emergence crabgrass material, it caused a significant reduction in the stand of crabgrass llhen applied post-emergence to seedling crabgrass in the 2-leaf (1 inch) stage. Control was a1lllost complete at the Ii lb/lOOO sq. ft. rate. XF-834: Seedling fescue and clover were slightly affected but bent, blue and rye grass were not injured by either rate o This chemical had greater post-emergence activity than Al'1A.-41on seedling crabgrass, controlling crabgrass completely at both rates and times of application. XF-833: This was the most selective chemical of the three having practically no effect on turf grasses and clover. It was slightly less effective post-emergence on seedling crabgrass. Zytron 1328 and 1481: The dry form (1.481) produced slight injury onbent, blue ana fescue, while the liquid form (1328) produced considerable injury. Chlordane (product): This material produced no significant injury ort'seed::i.Ing turf grasses or clover. Dacthol (product): This material produced only very slight injury, iiiCSt"Ol'it in the early treatment. Conclusions Based on 1960 fleld tests, it is apparent that XF-832, w:i.thin the range of rates tested, most nearly achieves the objectives stated at the beginning of this paper. ' ' Zytron and Dacthol, tlhile offering excellent pre-emergence crabgrass control and satisfactory turf tolerance, have the disadvantage 'of preventing growth of turfgrass seeds planted within four weeks ,after application of these chemicals.
