Nufarm introduces Velocity PM herbicide

Nufarm recently introduced Velocity PM herbicide at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Phoenix, Ariz.

Velocity is formulated to remove postemergent annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and roughstalk bluegrass (Poa trivialis), while reducing Poa annua seedhead production and suppressing dollar spot.

According to the company, Velocity PM is effective on creeping bentgrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and dormant bermudagrass. Additionally, it is labeled for use on fairways, tees and athletic fields. Featuring a low use rate and being tank-mix compatible with PGRs, fertilizers and fungicides, it adds control of various broadleaf weeds.

“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 Jeff Eldridge, Nufarm golf segment lead. “With Velocity PM, turfgrass managers can optimize their Poa transition program to suit their course needs.”

Velocity PM includes a Poa Management Program for spring, summer and fall, providing superintendents the ability to customize their transition program based on their situation and speed of conversion.
