Abstract:In order to control the malignant weed (Imperata koenigii) to turf in subtropical region,three concentrations of Glyphosate (G) and glufosinate-ammonium (GA) were sprayed into the cold season turfgrasses which severely invaded by I.koenigii on June 1,2017.The effective time,the symptoms and apparent efficiency of I.koenigii after application 10 and 40 days were determined.And the control effects (fresh weight,dry weight and plant weight of weeds) of different herbicides and concentrations were analyzed.The results showed that the effective time of GA was shorter than G.At after spraying herbicide for 10 days,the efficiency and mortality of GA were greater than G,and the application of G caused both new and old leaves of I.koenigii were first dechlorinated,then yellowed,and then withered.While after spraying GA,young leaves of I.koenigii were yellowed and old leaves became purple.After applying G and GA for 40 days,new bud of I.koenigii became enlarged and hollow,new leaves yellowed,and old leaves withered.Moreover,the effects of G on plant weight,fresh weight and dry weight of stems and leaves,and total control efficiency was significantly greater than GA.Plant control effect and stem control effect were mainly affected by herbicide type.Root control effect and total control effect were mainly affected by herbicide concentration.1.5% glyphosate showed the best control effect on I.koenigii and was suitable for weed control in turf bed preparing period.
