SUIIIIJ~, ~ Conclusions 5'<br />

The following chemicals at the.cre rates indie.ted were applied to the<br />

soil at seeding, 2, 4, and 9 weeks prior to seeding;'and 2, 4, and 9 weeks after<br />

seeding. three different turfgrasses: trifluralin (N,N-di-n-propyl-2,6~dinitro-4-trifluoromethylaniline)<br />

at 2 ~ 4 Ibs., Dip~QRalin (N,N-di-n-propyl-2,6­<br />

dinitro-4-methylanlline) at 2, 4 and 8 Ibs , , Diphennrile (diphenylacetonitrile)<br />

at 30 Ibs., Bandane (polychlorodieyclopentadiene isomer) at 20 and 40 lbs., 75%<br />

Bandane plus 2~ Chlordane at 20, ~Oand 40 Ibs., Qacthal (dimethyl ester of<br />

tetra chloroterephthalic acid) at 10 and 20 Ibs., Daethal SY (experimental compound)<br />

at 10 Ibs., calcium propyl arsonate at 40 lbs~ and a combination af calcium<br />

propyl and calcium methyl arsonates at 50 ibs, .<br />

Merion Kentucky bluegrass,Astoria colonial ~grass and Chewing's fescue<br />

were the grasses used. The first treatments and seedings were made on June 29<br />

and the last ones on August 30. Turf scores based on density and vigor of· stand<br />

were taken c;Iuringthe season. The· a~rage scores Qnj'all treatments are given<br />

for two complete readings.<br />

Based on the results obtained under the conditi~ns of this study the following<br />

conclusions are made:<br />

1. Calcium propyl arsonate ancI·combinations of'·calcium propyl and calcium<br />

methyl arsonates, when applied to the soil at or prior to seeding certain<br />

lawngrasses, do not appreciably interfere with germination and growth of<br />

those grasses.<br />

2. Nine weeks after soil treatment with Diphenatrile it is safe to seed<br />

Merion Kentucky bluegrass, Astoria Colonial bentgrass and Chewing's fescue.<br />

3. In general, soil treatments with herbicides prior to seeding turfgrasses<br />

are more apt to result in injury than are the same treatments made after<br />

seed germination.<br />

4. Dipropalin, Diphenatrile, Bandane, Bandane~hlordane combinations,<br />

Dacthal ~Y and combinations of calcium propyl and calcium methyl arsonates,<br />

at certain rates, may be safely applied to 4~ek old stands of turfgrass.<br />

~ , .. .<br />

5. Bandane, the arsonates al'ldDiphenatrile appeared to be the leastphytotoxic<br />

to the turfgrasses. .<br />
