Morrisville, NC (Feb 26, 2024) – Starting in March 2024, golf course superintendents and turfgrass managers will have a simple, easy-to-use and effective solution for transitioning a Poa-mixed stand back to purer turf: Velocity® PM Poa Management Herbicide.
Velocity PM was uniquely developed and formulated to support golf courses with a tool for gradually and selectively removing postemergence annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and roughstalk bluegrass (Poa trivialis) while also reducing Poa annua seedhead production and suppressing dollar spot.
Velocity PM’s effective, easy-to-follow Poa Management Program, optimized for the spring, summer and fall, provides flexibility to customize the transition program of your choice for your situation and the desired speed of conversion, allowing for more uniform turfgrass transition at your pace.
“Velocity PM has generated an overwhelmingly positive response from superintendents who are looking to effectively manage Poa annua on their fairways and tees through a transition program,” said Nufarm Golf Segment lead Jeff Eldridge. “With Velocity PM, turfgrass managers can optimize their Poa transition program to suit their course needs.”
Velocity PM is effective on Creeping Bentgrass, Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue and Dormant Bermudagrass and is labeled for golf course fairways and tees, commercial and residential turfgrass, athletic fields and sod farms. With a low use rate, Velocity PM equips turfgrass managers with an efficient and economical tool for Poa removal while being tank-mix compatible with PGRs, fertilizers and fungicides. Velocity PM also adds control of numerous broadleaf weeds.
In January, Nufarm showcased Velocity PM Herbicide to golf course superintendents attending GCSAA’s Conference and Tradeshow (CTS) in Phoenix, AZ.
