Research
The objective of this study was to determine the tolerance of
seedling ‘Riviera’ bermudagrass to a range of postemergence
herbicides. Most of the herbicide combinations tested in these
trials caused some level of turfgrass injury, but this injury
was generally short-lived and did not significantly reduce the
rate of turfgrass coverage. The results of this study indicate
that a range of herbicide combinations can be safely used on
seedling bermudagrass to control problematic weeds during
establishment.
