Q

What is an aggressive tactic when trying to control Bentgrass in areas with other C3 turf species. What are some cosiderations needed before applying it?

A
  • • Mesotrione (Tenacity) Mixed With Triclopyr (Turflon Ester ) Is Highly Effective and Safe To Use On Most Cool-Season Grasses Including Tall Fescue, Fine-Leaf Fescues, Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass
  • Very Effective, only use if <20% bentgrass in stand.
  • – Safety and Effectiveness Can Only Be Assured With High Pressure (30psi) Sprayers Equipped With Flat-Fan Nozzles
  • – Mesotrione is too injurious when used with a hand pump sprayer
