Festuca rubra subsp. commutata, commonly known as Chewing's fescue, [1] is a subspecies of grass. It is a perennial plant very common in lawns throughout Europe . The plant features filamentous leaves, with the leaf rolled in the shoot.
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula Cl 2 C 6 H 3 OCH 2 CO 2 H.It is usually referred to by its ISO common name 2,4-D. [4] It is a systemic herbicide that kills most broadleaf weeds by causing uncontrolled growth, but most grasses such as cereals, lawn turf, and grassland are relatively unaffected.
Tall fescue is a long-lived tuft-forming perennial with erect to spreading hollow flowering stems up to about 165 cm (5'6") tall (exceptionally up to 200 cm) which are hairless (glabrous), including the leaf sheaths, but with a short (1.5 mm) ligule and slightly hairy (ciliate) pointed auricles that can wrap slightly around the stem.
Festuca paradoxa, the cluster fescue, is a cool-season grass native to Canada and the Continental United States.Like other cool-season grasses, it grows during the spring and fall, and remains dormant for the rest of the year.
Festuca octoflora, also known as Vulpia octoflora, [1] [2] is an annual plant in the grass family (). [3] The common name six-week fescue is because it supplies about 6 weeks of cattle forage after a rain. [3]
Imazapic is a chemical used as an herbicide. It controls many broad leaf weeds and controls or suppresses some grasses in pasture, rangeland and certain types of turf. It has a half-life of around 120 days in soil. [1] [2] Imazapic is considered an environmental hazard due to its harmful effects on aquatic life. [3]
2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (also known as 2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s, synthesized by reaction of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and chloroacetic acid. It was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting ...
Herbicide safeners are organic compounds used to enhance the effectiveness of herbicides, to make them "safer".They minimize the effect of the herbicide on crop plants, thereby improving selectivity between crop plants vs. weed species being targeted by the herbicide.
