Abstract Weed control efficacy and ornamental plants tolerance to dimethenamid–p (0.75%) + pendimethalin (1%) granular herbicide was evaluated in flat tray-grown weeds container-grown plants. Dimethenamid – p at 2.94 kg ai.ha–1 (2.62 lb ai.A–1) controlled the tested broadleaf grassy >80% for up 8 wk following application. The higher rates of ≥5.88 (≥5.25 provided 94% 99% weed species but...
