How to Control Poa annua In Your Region

By Dean Mosdell, Ph.D., technical services manager for Syngenta

Don’t let Poa annua sneak up on your fairways this fall. With the Syngenta GreenTrust® 365 Poa annua Assurance Program, you can liberate your fairways from Poa annua infestation, mottled appearance, seedheads and transition issues with confidence. This program provides customized solutions for both overseeded and non-overseeded fairways.

  • Apply Barricade® brand herbicides, Monument® 75WG and/or Princep® Liquid herbicides from September to December, depending on location, for excellent pre-emergence and post-emergence Poa annua control. This program applies herbicides with different modes of action to help manage herbicide-resistant Poa annua populations.

South and West - Overseeded fairways:

  • Apply Barricade six to 10 weeks before overseeding, depending on location, to help control Poa annua before establishment.
  • When 85% ryegrass cover is achieved, apply Trimmit® 2SC plant growth regulator monthly for suppression of Poa annua to help maintain healthy ryegrass.
