Clemson Universty Herbicide Trials

For the past five years Clemson University has conducted herbicide trials on the golf course. In previous years number eight hillside was used as a preemergence trial and left of number ten tees was used as a postemergence trial. This year they will be doing a combination of pre and postemergence trials at the tees at ten. The focus on these trials is to research a weed called Doveweed. Doveweed was beginning to become a problem on our course and throughout the southeast, so Clemson jumped at the opportunity to conduct trials at a new location. Being able to watch the trials and see which chemicals are and are not working has been very educational. On the plus side we have found new ways to prevent and control Doveweed.
