Multi‐state survey to identify suspected resistance to four herbicides and one plant growth regulator in Poa annua
BMP best management practices HRAC Herbicide Resistance Action Committee MOA mode-of-action 1 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE IN POA ANNUA Poa annua L. has been identified as the most troublesome weed in turfgrass systems (Van Wychen, 2020). Its unwanted presence in turfgrass can undermine economic feasibility and performance by disrupting surface uniformity and increasing management costs. Controlling P.

Proactive steps to prevent winterkill on turfgrass
Winterkill injury of ultradwarf bermudagrass greens manifests differently depending on a number of environmental conditions. Here, thin spots are weakened and lack full turf canopy. If not quickly nursed back to health, such areas become open sores that won’t heal without sodding.

Photos by Matthew Carpenter Overseeding bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is often performed to provide green cover of dormant warm-season grasses in the winter (13).
Identifying potential quinclorac-resistant smooth crabgrass
| Filed to: Herbicides, Weeds, crabgrass, Alabama Figure 1. Mixed smooth crabgrass with populations controlled by and escaping control with a standard rate of quinclorac (Drive XLR8). This figure demonstrates the classic segregating population. Digitaria spp. (crabgrasses) is consistently surveyed as one of the most common and most troublesome species of weeds to control in turfgrass (19).
