1 Janice Reed and Donn Thill University of Idaho Janice Reed and Donn Thill University of Idaho Chemical and Mechanical Suppression of Kentucky Bluegrass Stands In An Alternate Year Production System

2 Introduction Need to develop alternative residue management systems –Maintain stand longevity –Economically sustainable Suppression with herbicides in alternate year production –Year 1: Suppression, regrowth –Year 2: Seed production, mechanical residue removal (mow, harrow) Need to develop alternative residue management systems –Maintain stand longevity –Economically sustainable Suppression with herbicides in alternate year production –Year 1: Suppression, regrowth –Year 2: Seed production, mechanical residue removal (mow, harrow)

3 Increase yield – Stand thinning – Moisture retention Residue decomposition Increase yield – Stand thinning – Moisture retention Residue decomposition Herbicide Suppression of Bluegrass and Alternate Year Seed Production

4 Objective Roundup Timing Studies Herbicide Comparison Study Determine the optimum herbicide and herbicide application time to predictably suppress Kentucky bluegrass stands Roundup Timing Studies Herbicide Comparison Study Determine the optimum herbicide and herbicide application time to predictably suppress Kentucky bluegrass stands

10 Suppression is cultivar specific Stand suppression with Roundup is variable Recovery from Roundup suppression was best with a later-maturing variety Recovery from suppression and yield generally were best when Roundup was applied earlier Suppression is cultivar specific Stand suppression with Roundup is variable Recovery from Roundup suppression was best with a later-maturing variety Recovery from suppression and yield generally were best when Roundup was applied earlier 2002/2003 Roundup Timing Study Summary
