Narrative Summary (Results/Discussion)
Please keep text to one page if possible. Include summary of trial results and a brief discussion.
Results for multiple PRnumbers can be summarized together, but please list all PRNumbers in
the footer and in the summary data table.
Biathalon. Biathalon was tested on Berberis at all three locations, Cornus at Lincoln and Spring
Meadow, and Potentilla at Lincoln and Spring Meadow. Biathalon was not injurious at any rate
to any of the species tested. Biathalon is a premix of oxyfluorfen + prodiamine for grass and
broadleaf control, although it is a little weak on grass species. Biathalon looks to be an excellent
combination herbicide for the nursery market, at least for the woody shrubs in this trial.
Certainty. All species that received applications of Certainty were injured by at least the higher
rates of Certainty, which included Berberis at all three locations, Buddleia at Spring Meadow
and Zelenka, Clematis at Lincoln, and Viburnum at Spring Meadow. From previous research,
(data not shown), Certainty is injurious to a number of ornamental plants and also not very good
for weed control at the lowest rate (0.059 lbs ai/ac). Certainty is an acetolactate synthesis (ALS)
inhibitor; the herbicides in this family are very selective, yet all the herbicides in the ALS family
are very different from each other in what they injure or kill. ALS herbicides would be an option
for postemergence control of weeds; however because they are very selective, crop tolerance
would be species, and sometimes cultivar dependent.
FreeHand. FreeHand was applied to Ceonothus at Spring Meadow and Chamaecyparis at
Spring Meadow and Lincoln. FreeHand was not injurious to Chamaecyparis at any rate;
however, at high rates, it can be injurious to Ceonothus, although not beyond commercially
acceptable. From other trials (data not shown), it will cause stunting to Ceonothus, especially if
under stress. In this study, growth index does indicate a slight stunting injury to Ceonothus from
applications of FreeHand. FreeHand is already on the market for ornamentals and has a wide
label, but there should be caution to not apply too high a rate.
F6875. F6875 was applied as either a liquid or as a granular, both at the same rates (of ai/ac).
Coreopsis at both Lincoln and Zelenka were not injured by the granular formulation of F6875.
The liquid formulation of F6875 was applied to Hydrangea and Echinacea at Lincoln and
Zelenka; both species were injured at some point by F6875. The first application was much
more injurious than the first, which is indicated by visual ratings on the Hydrangea, especially at
Lincoln. It seems that the granular formulation of F6875 is more conducive to the ornamental
market, at least in containerized material.
Tower. Tower was only applied to the Hemerocallis at Lincoln, and it causes slight stunting,
especially at the highest rate. Tower is currently labeled for ornamentals and has good activity
on grasses and can suppress yellow nutsedge. Tower can cause burning when applied shortly
after bud break, which is indicated by the label, so caution should be used. From this study, it
could be used on Hemerocallis.
Mesotrione. Euonymus was injured at all rates by mesotrione at the Spring Meadow site.
Although mesotrione has excellent weed control, it can cause severe bleaching (i.e. whitening) to
susceptible species. Deciduous trees seem to be the most tolerant of mesotrione based on data
from The Ohio State University (2008 Yearly Research Summary Report) and mesotrione should
be studied for field use in deciduous trees.
SedgeHammer. SedgeHammer was applied only to Buxus ‘Green mountain’ in the field at
Zelenka Nursery (Table 2). At first, SedgeHammer appeared to not injure Buxus; however, by
the second application, it was apparent the SedgeHammer caused yellowing and some stunting of
the Buxus. SedgeHammer has caused injury to Buxus in containers (2008 Yearly Research
Summary Reports), which this trial confirms. It doesn’t matter if Buxus grown in containers or
in the field, SedgeHammer should not be applied, at least while actively growing.

Environmental conditions during the experiment:
Insert temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and other pertinent environmental
conditions. Or send separate file with this information.
Trials were set up on April 29, 2010 with the weather generally overcast and temperatures
ranging from about 46 °F at time of start to 61 °F at the end of the day. Two applications of each
of the herbicides were applied, with the second application on June 24, 2010. The weather was
warm, approximately 75-88 °F during the course of applications with some dew present in the
morning (Lincoln was the site location at time of dew). Immediately after each application, ½
acre-inch irrigation was applied.

Data Collected
Please describe data collected and scoring system. Also include the dates data were collected.
Phytotoxicity evaluations were performed at 1 WA1T (week after first treatment), 2 WA1T, 4
WA1T, 1 WA2T (week after second treatment), 2 WA2T, and 4 WA2T. Visual ratings were
performed on a scale of 0-10 with 0 being no phytotoxicity, 10 being dead, and ≤3 commercially
acceptable. Growth was also assessed by measuring heights and widths at the first and last
evaluations.
