Abstract

Renovation of common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] turf to either ‘Tifway’ or ‘Tifdwarf’ bermudagrasses, zoysia (Zoysia japonica Steud. x Zoysia tenuifolia Willd. ex Trin. ‘Emerald’) or centipedegrass [Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.] was undertaken with the aid of herbicides. Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] applied to common bermudagrass turf followed by treatments of MSMA (Monosodium methanearsonate) + 2,4-D[2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] alone or in sequence with DCPA (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate) reduced the cover of common bermudagrass in renovated Tifway or Tifdwarf bermudagrass turf. Dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid) applied alone or in sequence with DCPA, MSMA + 2,4-D, or DCPA + MSMA + 2,4-D also reduced coyer of common bermudagrass in some plantings. Paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion) and cacodylic acid (hydroxydimethylarsine oxide) did not reduce the cover of common bermudagrass in turf renovations. Slower growing Emerald zoysia and centipedegrass could not compete with the common bermudagrass that escaped the herbicide applications and renovation was unsuccessful.
