Weed Control SNA RESEARCH CONFERENCE - VOL. 50 - 2005 Weed Control James Altland Section Editor and Moderator 431 SNA RESEARCH CONFERENCE - VOL. 50 - 2005 Preemergence Control of Winter Weeds in Overwintering Ornamental Crops Caren A. Judge, Joseph C. Neal and Robert E. Wooten Dept. of Horticultural Science, NC State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Index Words: annual bluegrass, birdseye pearlwort, common chickweed, common groundsel, hairy bittercress, spiny sowthistle, and yellow woodsorrel Signifi cance to Industry: BroadStar, OH2, and Snapshot TG were compared for control of winter weeds in overwintering nursery crop production. BroadStar, OH2, and Snapshot TG controlled common chickweed, common groundsel, hairy bittercress, and spiny sowthistle. OH2 and Snapshot TG controlled yellow woodsorrel better than Broadstar, although control was greater than 86% with all treatments. Annual bluegrass and birdseye pearlwort were controlled with Snapshot TG; BroadStar and OH2 were less effective on these species. If annual bluegrass or birdseye pearlwort are expected in overwintering structures, Snapshot TG should be used before covering or a dinitroaniline herbicide may need to be included with BroadStar to improve the spectrum of weed control. Nature of Work: The container nursery industry relies upon broad-spectrum preemergence herbicides and supplemental hand weeding for weed management (1). In the southeastern United States, weed management in container nursery crop production is a year-round endeavor due to the relatively mild winters and overwintering protection of crops. Overwintering structures moderate the temperatures and provide conditions favorable for germination and establishment of winter annual weeds. Weed management options are limited in overwintering structures because no preemergence herbicides are labeled for application within covered structures (3). Preemergence herbicides must be applied several weeks before plants are covered in late autumn. Weeds emerging in containers over the winter must be hand weeded, which is usually feasible only after the overwintering covers are removed in the spring. Few studies have investigated effi cacy of herbicides on weeds in container nursery crops in covered overwintering structures. Effective control of hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta L.) and yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta L.) was obtained from October and February applications of Regal O-O (oxyfl uorfen + oxadiazon) or Gallery (isoxaben) plus Ronstar (oxadiazon) (2). Yet, this trial was conducted outdoors, in large containers, not in a covered overwintering structure. For a more comprehensive evaluation of winter weed control in overwintering ornamental crops, experiments were conducted in 2002 and 2003 to evaluate the effi cacy of commonly used preemergence herbicides on several common winter nursery weeds in overwintering structures. Broadstar 0.25G (fl umioxazin) at 0.42 kg ai/ha (0.38 lbs ai/A), Scott’s Ornamental Herbicide II 3G (OH 2, oxyfl uorfen + pendimethalin) at 3.4 kg ai/ha (3.0 lbs ai/A), and Snapshot 2.5TG (isoxaben + trifl uralin) at 5.6 kg ai/ha (5.0 lbs ai/A) were applied to 4-L (1 gal) containers using a handheld shaker jar November 7, 2002 and November 25, 2003. All herbicide treatments were compared to nontreated plants. A pine bark plus sand substrate (7:1 v/v) was used and containers were 432 Weed Control Section SNA RESEARCH CONFERENCE - VOL. 50 - 2005 absent of ornamental plants, containing only the weed species. Containers were arranged in a randomized complete block design with fi ve one-container replications of each species in 2002 and eight one-container replications of each species in 2003. About one month after treatments, containers were placed in temporary overwintering structures. Structures were about 2.4 m (8 ft) wide, 10.7 m (35 ft) long, 1.2 m (4 ft) tall (at the center peak), and covered with 6 mil white plastic. The plastic was removed periodically to water plants and evaluate herbicide effi cacy. In 2002, the weed species evaluated were annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.), common chickweed (Stellaria media L.), common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris L.), hairy bittercress, and yellow woodsorrel. In 2003, the weed species evaluated were annual bluegrass, birdseye pearlwort (Sagina procumbens L.), common chickweed, common groundsel, hairy bittercress, spiny sowthistle (Sonchus asper L.), and yellow woodsorrel. Weed control was visually evaluated compared to nontreated plants through the winter and spring. Final evaluations were recorded approximately fi ve months after herbicide application. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means were separated using Fisher’s protected LSD at the 5% signifi cance level (4). Because weed control was evaluated relative to nontreated plants, data from nontreated plants were not included in the analysis. Results and Discussion: In 2002, each herbicide controlled annual bluegrass, common chickweed, common groundsel, hairy bittercress, and yellow woodsorrel for the fi ve month evaluation period (Table 1). In 2003, for the fi ve month evaluation period, common chickweed, common groundsel, hairy bittercress, and spiny sowthistle were equally controlled by each herbicide (Table 1). Yellow woodsorrel control was slightly better with OH2 (98%) and Snapshot TG (100%) than BroadStar (86%). Snapshot TG was most effective on annual bluegrass providing 91% control. BroadStar and OH2 were less effective, providing 17% and 62% control, respectively. Trends for birdseye pearlwort control were similar to annual bluegrass; BroadStar provided 34% control, OH2 provided 72% control, and Snapshot TG provided 97% control. In general, Snapshot TG provided the best control for the winter weeds evaluated in these studies. Most weeds were equally controlled by BroadStar and OH2 with the exception of annual bluegrass, birdseye pearlwort, and yellow woodsorrel. If the presence of any of these weeds is expected in overwintering structures, Snapshot TG should be used before covering or a dinitroaniline herbicide may need to be included with BroadStar to improve the spectrum of weed control.

Stamps and Annette L. Chandler Univ. of Florida, Inst. of Food and Agr. Sci., Dept. of Environ. Hort., Mid- Florida Res. and Edu. Ctr., 2725 S. Binion Rd., Apopka, FL 32703-8504 [email protected]fl .edu Index words: fl umioxazin, oryzalin, oxyfl uorfen, pendimethalin, prodiamine, trifl uralin, BroadStar, OH2, RegalKade, Rout, Snapshot, Eclipta prostrata, Emilia fosbergii, Murdannia nudifl ora Signifi cance to Industry: This research shows that even under very heavy rainfall and irrigation conditions, there are several preemergence herbicides that can effectively control eclipta, Florida tasselfl ower and doveweed for at least eight weeks. Flumioxazin was particularly effective in controlling doveweed. Nature of Work: The introduction and spread of new weeds is a common occurrence in the nursery industry (3). In order to effectively manage these “new” weeds, it is necessary to determine the weed control effi cacy of preemergence herbicides. In addition, irrigation and rainfall amounts (2) and timing (1) can affect herbicide effi cacy. In this study, six commercial granular preemergence herbicides were evaluated for controlling three weeds of increasing signifi cance in ornamental plant production. The experiment was conducted outdoors at the Univ. of Florida/IFAS’ Mid- Florida Res. and Educ. Ctr. in Apopka, FL. On Aug. 5, 2004, 6-inch [15-cm] diameter plastic pots (Dillen Products) were fi lled with a soilless growing medium composed of 80% aged pine bark and 20% Canadian Sphagnum peat (Fafard). Initial medium pH and EC (dS/m) were 6.86 and 1.52, respectively. After the pots were fi lled, 15 seeds of one of the three weed species were sown in each one: Eclipta prostrata (eclipta), Emilia fosbergii (Florida tasselfl ower) or Murdannia nudifl ora (doveweed) Pots were then irrigated with 1.3 cm [½ in] of water. Each pot was reseeded with another 15 seeds of the same weed species on Sept. 16, six weeks after the initial sowing. Plots were irrigated daily using overhead sprinklers, except during periods of high rainfall or when there was no electrical power to operate the well pumps. During this three-month long experiment, rainfall + irrigation water totaled 149 cm [58.8 in].

  • Crop Profile for Commercial Sod Production in Louisiana
    Crop Profile for Commercial Sod Production in Louisiana Prepared: November, 2004 General Production Information In 2003, 23 sod farms cultivated 3,855 acres of lawn turfgrasses. Sod acreage was reported down by 14.5% from the previous year. Gross farm sales were estimated at $13.7 million. About 60% of the sod acreage in Louisiana is centipedegrass. The remaining acreage is divided among St. Augustinegrass, bermudagrass and zoysiagrass, in that order. Cool-season grasses are not grown for sod in Louisiana. With new construction improving and Louisiana farms producing good quality sod, sod markets continue to hold a good price. Markets are expected to improve only as construction increases. Marketing is a limiting factor in the sod industry of Louisiana. Worker Activities Sod Production PLANTING ● Planting of turfgrass on sod farms is typically done either by seed or by vegetative means that would include sprigging, plugging, or sodding. Herbicides are often used at planting. ● Irrigation requirements are high during the early establishment phase on sod farms. Therefore, farm workers will be in the fields working with irrigation soon after planting of seed or vegetative means. ● Prolonged REIs could impact irrigation where there is a problem with the irrigation system. If no The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA. problems exist, the irrigation systems would work fine as they are highly automated. FERTILIZATION ● Turfgrasses on sod farms are routinely fertilized by workers. However, all fertilization is done by mechanical means, which includes tractors or trucks with high-flotation tires. ● Fertilization of turf on sod farms is almost always applied as a dry material which requires subsequent irrigation.

    Leatherleaf Fern Rumohra adiantiformis Height: 3 feet Spread: 3 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 8 Other Names: Leathery Shieldfern, Iron Fern, Seven Weeks Fern Description: Most recognized as standard greenery in floral arrangements, this fern produces deep green leathery foliage that is textural with a nice sheen; prefers bright shade with no direct sun; great for containers and baskets Ornamental Features Leatherleaf Fern foliage Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Leatherleaf Fern's attractive glossy ferny leaves emerge light green in spring, turning dark green in color the rest of the year. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Leatherleaf Fern is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should not require much pruning, except when necessary, such as to remove dieback. It has no significant negative characteristics. Leatherleaf Fern is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Mass Planting - General Garden Use - Container Planting - Hanging Baskets Planting & Growing Leatherleaf Fern will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years. This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water.
