Our @TAMUWeedNinjas Ubaldo, Bholuram had a successful day testing spray-drone parameters for site-specific herbicide application in turf. Collaboration with @dan_martin_usda. Thanks to @PBIGordonTurf for supporting this research. @TurfBlade @StrawTurf @USDA_ARS @txresearch .

@MHillsOnTurf Nothing really good from a selective herbicide standpoint, so I would recommend a non-selective and reseeding…with new, more expensive seed

[Eric Reasor, Ph.D. @TurfBlade]

When does a “deal” on seed ever work out? This one led to a nice orchardgrass stand

That’s a wrap for Poa herbicide trials in North Texas! Some PRE+POST combos provided >120 days of >90% control…

Best treats included a SU herbicide (Katana or Tribute) + a PRE (Specticle, Barricade, or Kerb) + simazine…one application on 5 Nov 2023

The usual suspect indicating a turfgrass weed scientist’s summer growing season has officially started…making #6 for me at @PBIGordonTurf

[Eric Reasor, Ph.D. @TurfBlade]

Winter weeds are up in #DFW…two of the most common grasses, #Poa and #rescuegrass, often emerge in the same areas…BUT herbicide selection can differ. Be sure to know what you are trying to control @askturfexperts @PBIGordonTurf

Been a big grass and turf show lately…I’m sure there are some experts out there that would come on and talk turf and your super grass…and maybe even help the @ThePodPMI boys out with their yards #BigAgShow

@Victory_Turf It could be Calyptocarpus vialis or horseherb. Surprised that mix doesn’t have activity. Maybe try something that has more synthetic auxins such as 2,4-D?

@turf_editor @ALTurfgrassAsn Thanks for the kind words! I really enjoyed putting that together and also learned a lot!

Just found out #Cobalt is in the back yard…good dark green color and barely watered it all summer! Going to be a great grass for Texas and beyond! @txextension @ChandraAmbika @hairyligule21
