Table 2, Grass control and alfalfa establishment from fall-applied 

 glyphosate at seven locations. 



^Seedings were made on April 25 and May 3 at Epsom. Grass was extremely 

 short when treated in the fall due to grazing in September. 



Sod at Northwood was subject to late summer drought. Seeding made on 

 May 28. 



grasses such as quackgrass, bromegrass, and orchardgrass . The addition 

 of paraquat at time of seeding to pronamide treatment the previous fall 

 was a reliable method for establishing alfalfa although, in some 

 instances, it was slightly less satisfactory than spring-applied gly- 

 phosate. 



Glyphosate applied in the spring generally controlled grasses 

 better than when applied in the fall at equal rates (Tables 2 and 4). 

 Control of grasses improved, at all locations, with increases in glyphosate 

 rates from 0.7 to 1.3 lbs/acre (Table 4). At some locations, grass con- 

 rol improved with increases in glyphosate rates from 1.3 to 2.0
