increased demand on seed companies to produce high-quality seed lots to prevent empty cells in the plug trays ( Cantliffe, 1998 ). To obtain 100% stand establishment, some growers have resorted to sowing two to five seeds per cell ( Pyle, 2000 ). Other

Effective weed control before seeding is essential for proper turfgrass establishment because competition from weeds can cause sward establishment to fail ( Dunn and Diesburg 2004 ; Patton et al. 2009 ). Herbicides are a vital component to weed
