Spraying # 4 Fairway

 Poa annua

We have been busy spraying fairways for this coming season.  I am spraying Roundup and Barricade.  The Roundup kills any weeds actively growing in fairway at present time and the Barricade is our preemergent used to control crabgrass and goosegrass. Pictures above show our spray rig and bottom two picture show weeds we are controlling with Roundup.  If we let the weeds continue to grow they will compete with our Zoysia grass.  The Zoysia grass is dormant so the Roundup will not harm it.   During this time I like to restrict carts to cart path.  If carts run in fairway and pick up roundup it can do damage to surrounding cool season turf in rough.  Even if turf is dry any cart that runs through a wet area can re wet chemicals on leaf and track chemical into rough.  We should see rain by Wednesday rain will wash off any residual roundup.  Thanks for your patience at this time.
