Diclofop (2-(4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy)propanoic acid) caused little to no injury to common bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] mowed twice weekly at 1.6-2.0 cm at rates of 0.56,1.12, 2.24, and 4.48 kg/ha or to ‘Tifdwarf’ bermadagrass Cyndon dactylon × C . transvaalensis Burtt-Davey, mowed daily at 0.5 cm at rates of 0.56, 1.12, and 2.24 kg/ha. Diclofop at 0.56, 1.12, and 2.24 kg/ha gave good control of mature goosegrass [ Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.] in ‘TifdwarP turf mowed daily at 0.5 cm, but resulted in inadequate control at 4.48 kg/ha in common bermudagrass turf mowed twice weekly at 1.6 or 2.0 cm.
