Additional Dise POA ANNUA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR OVERSEEDED BERMUNDAGRASS GREENS AND TEES PON aww<", behaves as a true winter annual weed in southern warm season twigrass areas As such, it reduces turf quality in ov(')rseeded bermucagrass and is iii significant management problem fOI golf course superintendents, Rubigan A.S, Turf and Ornamental fungicide can be used as a loo! for reducing Po') "rmila in overseeded bermudagrass greens and tees. Methods of reducing Poa annua populations can be varied to fit ... asHy into a golf course turf Inanagement program, The Directions for Use for the Poa aniwa Management program describes various options for managin9 Poa annue populations using Rublgan A,S. Turf and Ornamental, The program should not be undertaken unless the direl:.iions are fully understood by the user, Rubigan A.S. Turf and Ornamental Growth Regulating Effect: Rubigan ~S. Turf and Ornamental may exert a grcvAh regulaitng effed in certain plants bV reducing the biosynthesis of gibberellic acid, This effect ie. expressed as a reduction in internode elongation and suppression of overall plant growth, In Ihe presence of sufficiently high rates of Rubigan A.S. Turf and Ornamontal or prolonged exposure, a species sensitive to (his tlffec\ rnay. be .selectively suppressed. In turf. this effect allows the competitive balance to shift In fa'Jor of less sensitive cultivars. POEt annua has demonstrated iii significantly greater se~sltivjty to Ruoigsn I>..S, Turf and Ornamental than perennial tlJrigrass species and most of their cultivars. Proper use of this selectivlt)' can assist the golf r..ourse superintendent in managing the Poa armua composition of greens and tees. Management of Poa annlJa Using Rubigan A.s. Turf and Ornamental: Rubigan A,S, Turf and Ornamental, c. highly effective, !oc.ally systemic; fungicide, is iabeled for control of a number of economically important tUrfgrass diseases. ThePoa annua management program for Rubigol1 A.S, Turf and Ornarnemal can be timed to coindde with fall fungicide applications for control of late season diseases in bermudagrass, inclucting spring dead spot Fer optimum contrOl. apply Rubigan A.S, Turf and Ornamentai prior to germination of Poa annua, Treatment alternatives indude a program of either 2 or 3 appiicalio"!s to reach the 12 fluid ouncell 000 square feet rate of Rubigan A,S, Turf and Ornamental. Timing is thl:i critical issue in ac'1ieving control of Poa annus, Apply Rubigan A,S, Turf and Ornamental prior to germination of Poe annas. If a later 0versllf:!ding date is SCheduled, the three application strategy is most effective, Overseedln9: Fine biaded perenniai ryegrass or blends of ryegrass cultivars are recommended for overseeding. To avoid S{i('ldling stress t.he iast application of Rubigan A.S. Turf and Omamental must be made at least 2 weeks before overseechng perennial ryegrass and it is. recommenced that the meditlff1 10 high seeding rate be foHowed, If either Poe triviafis or bentgrass is used for overseeding, follow the 3 application program. To Mciid saedlin9 stress when overseeding Poa triviali's or bentgrass. the final application of Rubigan A.S.
