Spraying Greens to control Poa.

As some of you noticed, we are spraying greens today. We are doing this for two reasons. The first is to give the greens some nutrients with a liquid fertilizer. The other reason is to help combat a small problem with Annual Bluegrass (poa annua) in the greens before it becomes a big problem. I have included a picture of one spot of poa on the greens. The poa is the lime green colored grass and the white spots are the seed ready to help it spread more. This is such a troublesome weed in the greens because the products that will kill it will also kill the bentgrass. We are spraying a product that just regulates the growth to a point where the bentgrass can out grow it. Once this happens, we won't see any poa and the bentgrass will fill in the voids.
