Abstract

Bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-(4) 3H-one 2,2-dioxide], cyperquat (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium), and perfluidone {1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl] methanesulfonamide} were evaluated for their potential use as postemergence herbicides for selective yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) control in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) in field studies. High rates of these herbicides as single or split applications were effective and only slightly reduced verdure of Kentucky bluegrass, indicating excellent selectivity. In greenhouse studies perfluidone exhibited growth retardant properties. Shoot dry weight production was inhibited and root dry weight of treated plants was markedly reduced. These two factors are undesirable features for commercial sod production.
