Abstract

Field and laboratory experiments were conducted in New Jersey to investigate the influence of nitrogen on annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass metabolism and responses to bispyribac-sodium. In field experiments, withholding nitrogen during the test period increased sensitivity of both grasses to bispyribac-sodium, and grasses fertilized biweekly had darker color on most rating dates. Nitrogen generally increased annual bluegrass tolerance to bispyribac-sodium at 74 g ha−1 but not at 148 g ha−1. Creeping bentgrass was influenced by nitrogen at both herbicide rates. In laboratory experiments, weekly nitrogen treatments increased 14C-bispyribac-sodium metabolism in both grasses compared to unfertilized plants. Annual bluegrass metabolized approximately 50% less herbicide regardless of nitrogen regime compared to creeping bentgrass. Overall, routine nitrogen fertilization appears to improve annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass tolerance to bispyribac-sodium, which may be attributed to higher metabolism.

En New Jersey se llevaron a cabo experimentos de campo y de laboratorio para investigar la influencia del nitrógeno en el metabolismo y las respuestas al bispyribac-sodium en Poa annua y Agrostis stolonifera. En los experimentos de campo, el no proporcionar nitrógeno durante el período de estudio incrementó la sensibilidad de ambos céspedes al bispyribac-sodium, mientras que los céspedes fertilizados cada dos semanas, tuvieron un color más oscuro en la mayoría de las fechas de evaluación. El nitrógeno generalmente incrementó la tolerancia de P. annua al bispyribac-sodium a74 g ha−1, pero no a 148 g ha−1, mientras que A. stolonifera fue influenciada por el nitrógeno a ambas dosis del herbicida. En los experimentos de laboratorio, los tratamientos semanales de nitrógeno incrementaron el metabolismo de 14C-bispyribac-sodium en ambos céspedes, comparados con plantas sin fertilizar. P. annua metabolizó aproximadamente 50% menos herbicida en comparación a A. stolonifera independientemente del suministro de nitrógeno. En general, la fertilización rutinaria con nitrógeno parece mejorar la tolerancia de P. annua y A. stolonifera al bispyribac-soidum lo que puede atribuirse a un mayor metabolismo.
