Abstract

Repeated applications of amine methylarsonate over a two year period resulted in significant reductions in nutsedge tuber numbers at 1.3, 2.6 and 3.8 ounces per 1000 sq. ft. Single annual applications of amine methylarsonate at the same rates were ineffective. Amine methylarsonate and disodium monomethylarsonate treatments gave moderate reductions in nutsedge tuber numbers in thin Bermudagrass turf after one season.
