Winter Glyphosate Applications to Bermudagrass

Glyphosate applications to dormant bermudagrass in winter are excellent for general weed control. Many weeds, including Poa annua, can be effectively controlled at the labeled rate of 0.5 lbs ai/a of glyphosate (1 pt/acre for the 4 lb/gallon product). Furthermore, glyphosate use is an important tool for resistance management of weeds in bermudagrass.

Nematode damage manifests itself in both above and below ground symptoms. Above-ground symptoms typically include thinning, wilting or death of turfgrass. These symptoms usually occur in irregularly shaped patches that will spread outwards slowly over time if left untreated. Root-knot nematode symptoms often emulate several fungal diseases and can cause chlorotic patches in turfgrass stands.
