Abstract

An undesirable bermudagrass [Cynodon dacytlon (L.) Pers. # CYNDA] often must be removed before converting to an improved bermudagrass turf or to a different turfgrass species. Because bermudagrass control with glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] has been inconsistent, an experiment was initiated to determine the necessary application rates and frequency for glyphosate and SC-0224 (trimethylsulfonium carboxymethylaminomethylphosphonate) to control bermudagrass. Both glyphosate and SC-0224 applied in three applications (May, June, and August) had controlled three bermudagrass hybrids [Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy # CYNTR x C. dactylon (L.) Pers. Tifway’, Tifgreen’, and ‘Tifdwarf’] and ‘Ormond’ bermudagrasses when evaluated the next June. None of the cultivars were controlled effectively with either herbicide applied in one (May) or two (May and June) applications regardless of rate. Control with glyphosate and SC-0224 was similar.
