Selectivity of Kapina® and Kapina Plus® herbicides applied in fairway Tifway 419 Bermuda
Cynodon spp. specie is the predominant grass frequently used in fairways, greens, tees and roughs of golf courses, but does not necessarily requires intense preventive maintenance. In order to evaluate the selectivity of Kapina® and Kapina Plus® formulations herbicides for Cynodon spp. Tifway 419, in fairway of golf camp, an experiment was conducted on turf grass belonging to Maringa Golf Club. Experimental design used was randomized blocks, with seven treatments and four replications, constituted by Kapina® (750, 1500 and 2250 mL ha-1), Kapina Plus® (750, 1500 e 2250 mL ha-1) herbicides and a check without application. Kapina® e Kapina Plus® herbicides, from 750 mL ha-1, presented a satisfactory selectivity for Tifway 419 Bermuda, and may be recommended in fairways of golf courses and other sports.
