Abstract

Combinations of MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) with bensulide [O,O-diisopropyl phosphorodithioate S-ester with N-(2-mercaptoethyl)benzenesulfonamide], DCPA (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate), or prosulfalin {N-[[4-(dipropylamino)-3,5-dinitrophenyl] sulfonyl]-S,S-dimethylsulfilimine} were applied at various dates of treatment to bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) in the spring for large crabgrass [Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.] control. Bensulide controlled a higher percentage of weeds than did DCPA, regardless of treatment dates. When treatments were delayed until late April in Griffin and mid May in Blairsville, Georgia, large crabgrass control was improved from combinations of MSMA with bensulide compared to bensulide alone. Combinations of MSMA with DCPA improved large crabgrass control when applied in March and April at Griffin and in May at Blairsville. Combinations of MSMA with either bensulide or DCPA performed equally well whether applied as a single tank-mix treatment or as separate applications on the same day. Large crabgrass control was not improved at any date from combinations of MSMA with prosulfalin when compared with prosulfalin alone.
