Title
Herbicide Effects on Tensile Strength and Rooting of Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) Sod
Sam S. Sharpe; Ray Dickens; David L. Turner Weed Technology 1989. doi:10.1017/s0890037x00031948
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Immature and mature bermudagrass turf both had 100% ground cover.
- Observation Only mature bermudagrass turf had tensile strength adequate for harvesting and handling.
- Intervention effect Sod tensile strength was generally unaffected by herbicide treatment at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after application.
- Intervention effect Imazapyr killed bermudagrass top growth.
- Intervention effect Sethoxydim and sulfometuron initially depressed root number and root length.
- Intervention effect Eight weeks after treatment, root length, root number and sod tensile strength of all treatments except imazapyr were similar to the untreated control.
