About the Cover
Cover: Goosegrass [Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.] growing in Tifton-419 ('Tifway')
hybrid bermudagrass turf [Cynodon trans-vaalensis
Burtt Davy X C. dactylon (L.) Pers.]. Goosegrass is an important gap-colonizing weed
that is adapted to
compacted areas. In golf and sports turf, goosegrass is currently controlled by MSMA,
an organic arsenical herbicide.
If the mechanisms for cultural management of weeds in turfgrass were better understood,
it would be possible to make
reasonable inferences for an integrated best management system. (Photo by P. Busey; see
Busey, p. 1899-1911).
