Foxtail Management in Smooth Brome Hay Meadows

Three different herbicides were applied at early bromegrass greenup and post hay harvest to assess their effectiveness in controlling foxtail two producer meadow sites Pottawatomie (PT) Dickinson (DK) counties. Pendimethalin resulted the greatest control, but control did not extend through season reduce late-summer infestations. Metsulfuron approximately 30% visible brome injury. The injury was associated with 77 48% losses when compared untreated check, PT DK sites, respectively. Injury from spring treatments exacerbated by six freeze events cool, dry conditions for three weeks following application. pendimethalin post-harvest also injury, matter yields measured. This study will be continued 2021 without metsulfuron treatments, addition of sequential treatments.
