EVALUATIONS OF ISOXAFLUTOLEAS A<br />

POSTEMERGENCE HERBICIDE IN TURF<br />

R. B. Taylorson-<br />

ABSTRACf<br />

Fie d experiments were conducted during 1995 and 1996 to evaluate control of crabgrass<br />

(Di it ri ischaemum (Schreb.) Muhl.), broadleaf weeds and turfgrass tolerance to<br />

isoxafl tole (R-P EXP 31130A). Studies were conducted at the URI turf research farm on a<br />

mixed urf containing about 70 percent Jamestown II Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra var.<br />

comm tata) maintained at 1.25 inches. Additional studies were conducted on an old athletic<br />

field tu of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) mowed at 1.75 inches. Experiments were<br />

rando ized complete block designs with four replicates. Plots were five feet wide by eight<br />

feet 10 g with a two foot untreated strip between plots. Soils were Bridgehampton silt loams,<br />

Treatm nts were applied with a backpack sprayer in 40 GPA. All rates are given in lb ai/A.<br />

Cr grass was treated at the early- and mid-postemergence stage. Broadleaf weeds were<br />

treated on June 9 and July 5, 1996. <strong>Weed</strong> stands were moderate-heavy in all cases.<br />

Broadl af weeds consisted mainly of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and dandelion<br />

Tarax cum officinale Weber). <strong>Weed</strong> control ratings were on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being<br />

perfect control and
