In this study, five different liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) doses of flaming (0, 61, 91, 157 and 237 kg ha –1) were tested in order to find the optimal dose, in terms of weed control and costs. Flame weeding could be an alternative to the use of synthetic herbicides for selective weed control in seashore paspalum. The species seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.) is susceptible to such herbicides. Although herbicides are commonly used to control weeds in turfgrasses, environmental and public health concerns have led to limiting or banning the use of synthetic herbicides in urban areas. Weed control is crucial to ensure that turfgrass is established effectively.
