Annual bluegrass resistance to ethofumesate in golf courses around the US is described in this new #OpenAccess paper. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.2… @vukovic_vera @mattoxgolf @McNally_Brandon @malherbologist @PurdueTurfDoc

The final installment of our @UTturfgrass video series on #PoaAnnua control is now live. In this video, we explore strategies for control in overseeded ryegrass. Check it out @TnTurfAssoc @TennesseeGCSA @TVSFMA @utextension @UTAgResearch youtu.be/r9ANwyaqrHQ

The next installment in our @utextension video series on #PoaAnnua control is live. More content on effective herbicide mixtures from 2023-2024 research trials @UTturfgrass. Check it out @TennesseeGCSA @TnTurfAssoc @TVSFMA youtu.be/s-FpWq-02Eg?si…

Check out the first in a new series of #PoaAnnua control videos on the @UTturfgrass YouTube Channel. This first installment focuses on control in ultradwarf greens. @TennesseeGCSA @TnTurfAssoc @utextension @UTAgResearch youtu.be/pPxLD5LqTEI?si…

Our @TAMUWeedNinjas PhD student Bholuram Gurjar @gurjar_bho24226 trained a YOLO model to recognize Poa in bermuda turf. Still needs some more improvement, but looks promising! @txresearch @ResistPoa @tamusoilcrop

Annual bluegrass possesses both an annual and perennial lifecycle at the same time. Learn more: bit.ly/3IG6vnl @GCSAA

That’s a wrap for Poa herbicide trials in North Texas! Some PRE+POST combos provided >120 days of >90% control… Best treats included a SU herbicide (Katana or Tribute) + a PRE (Specticle, Barricade, or Kerb) + simazine…one application on 5 Nov 2023 @PBIGordonTurf @NTGCSA

Lots of questions about #PoaAnnua control this time of year, often on UDB greens. Plenty of good treatments in this trial and some that haven't met the challenge. #PicOfTheMonth for February @UTturfgrass

2nd to last app in 2-yr study comparing spring v. fall v. both apps of @PoaCure & cumyluron. Thus far, fall apps are most important for either herbicide. Two timely apps/yr of PoaCure (1.2 oz) or cumyluron (3 or 6 oz) all that’s needed when initial Poa populations are low (<10%).

3 new annual bluegrass videos are live on our YouTube. Go check them out! One tests a popular anti-dandruff shampoo as a POST option. youtu.be/VFPWXaX2Kdw

Check out our video on late season POST Poa control. This includes 3 different carrier rates of Glufosinate and others. Must watch for those with Poa outbreaks this spring, wondering what to do. youtu.be/uzvwpUy2jYA

Learn from @VTTurfweeds, Ph.D., as he provides both chemical and cultural control strategies for Poa annua. #PBIGordonTurf #GCSAA pbigordonturf.com/webinar-chemic…

Andrew Osburn confirming Poa annua cross resistance to pronamide and prodiamine in Florida and Texas populations at @SouthWeedSciSoc.

Cryogenic treatments work, even on cold adapted weeds such as Poa. This is 6 days after treatment of liquid nitrogen at 10, 20, or 30 mls. With an engineered application system, I may be able to go lower than 10 mls.

Highlights from a recent @ResistPoa study (led by @dervin_env) regarding lawn care operator insights on contemporary challenges with weed management were featured in this month's @lawnlandscape. Read the L&L article here: shorturl.at/ehtQV

Congratulations to @jbunruh as this year's recipient of the GCSAA President's Award for Environmental Stewardship. The @FGCSA knows first hand how instrumental he has been in the development and expansion of Golf BMPs in FL and the country. @GCSAA gcmonline.com/headlines/gcsa…
