Mefluidide at 280 g ai/ha reduced seedhead density in tall fescue to 9% of the check.
Verbatim
t0“Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea)”
e1“Seedhead densities averaged 33% of the check with 8.4 g ai/ha of metsulfuron, 17% with 70 g ai/ha of imazethapyr, and 9% with 280 g ai/ha of mefluidide, while forage yields were reduced to about 40% of the check”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Metsulfuron at 8.4 g ai/ha reduced seedhead density in tall fescue to 33% of the check.
- Intervention effect Imazethapyr at 70 g ai/ha reduced seedhead density in tall fescue to 17% of the check.
- Association Forage yields of tall fescue were reduced to about 40% of the check.
- Intervention effect Mefluidide, imazethapyr and metsulfuron increased forage crude protein concentration in tall fescue.
- Intervention effect Metsulfuron, mefluidide and imazethapyr at 6.3 and 8.4 g/ha reduced neutral-detergent fiber of Ky 31 tall fescue but not of Fawn.
- Intervention effect Dicamba plus 2,4-D increased neutral-detergent fiber of Fawn tall fescue.
- Intervention effect Metsulfuron at 6.3 and 8.4 g/ha, mefluidide and imazethapyr increased in vitro dry matter digestibility of tall fescue in one of two years.
- Intervention effect Adding 2,4-D to metsulfuron reduced some effects of metsulfuron on tall fescue.
- Intervention effect Imazethapyr and metsulfuron did not adversely affect total crude protein per hectare more than mefluidide did.
- Recommendation Imazethapyr and metsulfuron can be used to control weeds in tall fescue without reducing forage value.
