You Sprayed What On Newport Fairways?

This week we had a break in the weather and a couple calm days. We sprayed the Newport fairways with Roundup. Roundup at the rate of 24 oz per acre will not harm the bermudagrass. It will however kill any ryegrass or poa annua or weeds that popped up. Usually they appear in divots. We apply a preemergent in September as a poa control. The Roundup gives the fairways a clean, maintained look. It also promotes one grass type and is part of the ongoing attempt to control poa annua which is a bad problem right now on the greens. More about that in another post. So no we aren't crazy using Roundup on the fairways.
