Weed Control Update for Warm Season Turf in Hawaii - 2012

  On January 19, 2012, Dr. DeFrank made a presentation to turf and landscape managers attending the 2012 Pacific Agriculture Sales and Service trade show at the Pear Country Club in Aiea, Hawaii.  His topics included a recap of the infield renovation of the Aiea High School baseball (2010 to 2011) field that included fertilization, weed control and mowing.  Lessons learned form the Aiea project were carried over to the Waipio Soccer fields and a description of the weed control treatments and results (in 2011) are reviewed.  New herbicide products and packaging available to Hawaii turf managers are described.  The seminar ends with a discussion of new permit requirements for the use of herbicides for aquatic weed control in Hawaii.
