| Abstract/Contents: | "The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerance and the response of Colonial bentgrass to several rates of silvex under various environmental influences. Ten-week old Colonial bentgrass seeedlings were treated with ½, 1 ½ or 3 pounds per acre of silvex and maintained in growth chamber under 75-97°F., or 50-60°F., alternate temperatures. These tests were conducted in solution cultures regulated at a pH 7.0 or a pH 4.8 and short or long day conditions. The significant responses obtained showed that silvex caused much greater injury to Colonial bentgrass seedlings under high temperatures than under low temperatures. In general, a gradual decrease in root length and density and an increase in leaf burn occurred with increasing silvex rate. The most detrimental rates appeared to be 1 and 1 ½ pounds per acre. With low pH and long day conditions, silvex treatments appeared to give more severe action." |
