| Abstract/Contents: | "Chemically Betasan is S-(O,O-diisopropyl phosphorodithioate) of N-(2-mercaptoethyl) benzenesulfonamide which has been formulated on various granules and as an emulsifiable concentrate for field testing during the past three years. In addition to smooth, hairy and silver crabgrass other weeds including annual bluegrass, red-root pigweed and lambsquarters have been controlled at rates of 10 to 20 lbs. per acre. The rate required for seasonal control depends upon the time of application (fall or spring) and the length of the growing season. In relation to the weeds application must be made prior to their emergence from the soil. All grass turfs tested throughout the United States have been tolerant to rates at least double those required for weed control when applications were made to well established turfs. Dichodra has been found to be tolerant to a rate of 80 lbs. per acre regardless of growth stage at time of application. Applications have been made to dichondra just prior to or following seeding, on young seedlings and established turfs with no injury to stands or growth. Weed control and turf tolerance have been uniformly good showing that the activity and selectivity of this compound is not significantly affected by soil and environmental conditions. Considerable testing has been done on established ornamentals, ground covers, shrubs and trees and to date all species tested have been highly tolerant to Betasan." |
