What are the key herbicide considerations when managing weeds in lentils, and how can growers protect their herbicide options for the future? In Part 2 of the presentation from agronomist and WeedSmart Extension Officer Chris Davey, we continue the discussion on lentil weed management from the Mallee Research Updates. While Part 1 focused on setting lentil crops up for success through rotation, crop competition and the WeedSmart Big 6, this episode takes a closer look at herbicide options, resistance and soil chemistry. Chris explains why chemical control should be considered as part of an integrated weed management strategy, rather than the first line of defence. He discusses the importance of resistance testing, using multiple herbicide modes of action and getting the timing and application right, particularly given the limited post-emergent options available in lentils. The conversation also explores how soil type, herbicide solubility and soil binding influence pre-emergent herbicide behaviour. Chris highlights the added challenges of sandy soils, where the margin between effective weed control and crop damage can be narrow, and explains how rainfall, deep ripping and seeding systems can influence herbicide movement and crop safety. The episode also covers non-chemical options including weed wiping, desiccation and crop topping, harvest weed seed control, and the use of herbicide-tolerant lentil varieties. This episode provides practical insights for growers looking to improve lentil weed control while managing resistance and protecting crop safety. This is Part 2 of a presentation from Chris Davey. In Part 1, Chris explores soil constraints, crop rotation, crop competition and the WeedSmart Big 6.

(Aug 7, 2026) Research has linked exposure to a popular herbicide used in agriculture to Parkinson's disease. Advocates, including residents of the Washington County town of Hebron, want a statewide ban on the use of the herbicide paraquat. Also: A new report commissioned by the state Legislature takes a close look at New York's court-ordered mental health treatment program, more than a quarter century after Kendra's Law first took effect.

An increasing number of California specialty crop farmers are minimizing labor and chemical costs through the adoption of high-tech herbicide sprayers, and the average value of U.S. cropland has climbed above $6,000 an acre for the first time.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features research from North Carolina State University student Brooke Heikkila on machine vision-guided targeted herbicide applications for weed management in turfgrass. In recent years, a variety of new spot spraying technologies have been introduced into agriculture that uses machine vision and artificial intelligence to selectively treat weeds. Targeted spraying opens the door to use nonselective herbicides or novel herbicide admixtures that were previously too expensive or injurious to turfgrass when applied as broadcast treatments. Targeted applications can substantially reduce herbicide use by lowering spray volume and treated acreage, providing both environmental and economic benefits. The first commercial machine vision-guided spot sprayer for turfgrass was recently launched at the 2026 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show; however, limited research has been conducted to quantify its benefits or optimize its use for turfgrass weed management. Brooke Heikkila, an MS student in Godara's Lab at North Carolina State University, is developing practical weed density thresholds and herbicide admixtures to optimize machine vision-guided targeted applications for turfgrass weed management. Brooke received her BS in Environmental Science from the University of Minnesota and recently completed the USGA Greenkeeper Apprenticeship Program. She is passionate about making meaningful contributions to the North Carolina turfgrass industry and is focused on developing innovative, practical solutions for turfgrass managers. Brooke's thesis research project, funded by Turfgrass Council of North Carolina, focuses on investigating different herbicide admixtures to control false-green kyllinga (Kyllinga spp.) in fairways, with the goal of improving weed control efficacy and resistance management strategies through targeted applications. In her recent work, they documented that turfgrass managers can use nonselective herbicides like glyphosate or tank mixtures that involve herbicides from different modes-of-action to control false-green kyllinga with minimal injury risk to desirable turfgrass on fairways. These targeted applications reduced the amount of herbicide volume used and treated area by at least 75% compared to traditional broadcast treatments. Although machine vision-guided sprayers require a substantial upfront investment, the magnitude of herbicide reduction has the potential to generate significant annual cost savings for turfgrass managers just in few years. Future work will focus on understanding how these savings will vary throughout a year-long management plan when combating a diverse spectrum of weed including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, using targeted applications. While these cost savings are encouraging, differences between targeted and broadcast spraying may diminish at higher weed densities. To address this concern, Brooke is conducting an additional study to evaluate how herbicide usage from targeted applications varies across different infestation levels of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) in turfgrass. Even at 30% annual bluegrass cover, which is substantially higher than the typical weed cover observed on managed sites, targeted applications resulted in a 35% reduction in spray volume used compared to broadcast applications. Although many of these experiments are ongoing and require validation across multiple site years, it is exciting to answer these important questions to assist practitioners with the adoption of this new tool and develop application thresholds. These early results are positive indicators of machine vision-guided spot sprayers' ability to reduce herbicide usage, lowering turfgrass managers' annual herbicide budget and decreasing environmental pesticide loads. Brooke's goal is to provide turfgrass managers with the practical evidence they need to see how machine vision-guided spot spraying could impact their budget, flexibility, and long-term turfgrass sustainability.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Preparing for the Next Poa Control Season” by Scott McElroy, PhD – Professor, Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, Auburn University and and Travis Gannon, PhD – Professor, Department of Crop and Soil Science, North Carolina State University. Quote – “When did Noah build the Ark? Before the Rain.” – Robert Redford in “Spy Game” It is the end of Poa annua's life span here in the southeast. As this article is being written in late May, Poa is struggling to produce that last bit of seed it can before it dies, perpetuating whatever traits it carries into the future. Likely, if you have been trying to control Poa, you are looking down at a population that has been selected for some form of resistance to the herbicides you have been using. The short-time traveler seeds are going to greet you next November-ish. As warm-season grasses are sliding into dormancy, or at least a state of slowed or diminished growth, those seeds carrying those herbicide-defying traits are going to make their appearance, potentially thwarting whatever attempt you used last year yet again. Before you start making decisions about your management program next year, you need to test your Poa population. Two populations from this year were showing signs of Kerb resistance until we brought them into the lab and realized that it was not resistance, but most likely enhanced degradation due to overuse. Email Dr. McElroy at resistancelab@auburn.edu and get a better picture of what your population is resistant to. For most herbicides, you can get an answer in six weeks. For the southeastern US, there are three distinct application periods for Poa control. This is for bermudagrass and zoysiagrass golf, sports fields, professional lawn care, and general use. Golf and sports fields are the most complicated because they receive the most traffic and use, therefore the greater turfgrass damage, which leads to greater weed invasion. The application scenarios we talk about here are more likely to be used in golf than in other areas, but applicable to all situations except sports, which require special attention to not reduce rooting and traction. The Pre Application- The Basis of Control. In all situations, you want to start off with a general preemergence herbicide. If in golf and non-sports turfgrass areas, this is Specticle (indaziflam) or a standard pre like Barricade (prodiamine), Pendulum (pendimethalin), or Dimension (dithiopyr). In our opinion, this is the optimal application timing for Specticle (indaziflam). Specticle should not be used on sports fields, it is a root inhibitor and can result in poor-performing turfgrass. Regardless of which herbicide, the initial pre application is the basis of all Poa control programs. Skipping the pre puts greater pressure on follow-up postemergent applications. Even if pre-applications only reduce the Poa population by 50%, that is still 50% fewer weeds that follow-up applications have to deal with. Later applications are much more likely to fail if you put all the pressure on follow-up post applications. Adding in a postemergent herbicide at this time is not a bad idea, but it needs to have some residual and some root uptake because your pre needs to be watered in. Monument (trifloxysulfuron) is possible because it can be foliar absorbed, but Revolver (foramsulfuron) has limited root uptake. Others are using Sencor (metribuzin) in this timing. The Winter Transition: Key to Resistance Management. The early winter, or early winter transition application, is the most critical. Skipping this application leads to too much pressure being placed on the initial pre application which can expedite resistance development. This application needs to yield acceptable control in two to three weeks, which eliminates any resistant survivors that may be present and provides further preemergence control. The key to the transition application is choosing multiple herbicides with a minimum of three different modes of action, with at least two having preemergence and postemergence activity. To clarify- Three modes of action with two having both pre and post activity. Triazines – atrazine and simazine – are the starting point for this control. Think of these as your Post/Pre herbicides, they are primarily post but give you some pre activity. Sencor (metribuzin) is also an option, although not as consistently effective as atrazine or simazine. If these herbicides are not available for use or if you have extensive confirmed resistance, ALS inhibitors such as Revolver (foramsulfuron), Monument (trifloxysulfuron), or Katana (flazasulfuron) are useful, as is Scepter (imazaquin). Next, you need a Pre/Post in the mix – a herbicide that gives you primarily pre action but adds in some post control. Kerb (pronamide/propyzamide) and Sureguard (flumioxazin) are good choices at this timing. A second application of Specticle also has potential in this situation, although it has less post activity than the two listed above. Ronstar (oxadiazon) applied as a liquid to provide post activity also has potential in this timing. Last in the mix you need something that can aid control and help prevent resistance. Glyphosate is the obvious choice in this mixture. If you are not completely dormant, a low rate at 5 fl oz/a (of a 4 lb ai gallon) can add some benefit, but if confident in the dormancy, use a full labeled rate on dormant turfgrass. Finale (glufosinate) is a good substitute if glyphosate resistance is present or developing. Neither glyphosate or glufosinate are recommended for zoysiagrass, adding in a Revolver, Katana, or another ALS inhibitor is a better choice due to potential damage from non-selective herbicides. The Spring Transition – Control Any Escapes and Spring Crabgrass Control. Combining any further Poa annua control with spring crabgrass and goosegrass control is an easy way to maximize efficiency. This pushes the herbicide application into late February to early March for the majority of the southeastern United States (time applications to your specific area based on local weather patterns and soil temperatures). Dormancy questions and spring greenup of bermudagrass or zoysiagrass complicate this application timing. Some herbicides are simply too harsh on greenup to be used in this period. First, the standard pre herbicides should be used at this time – Barricade (prodiamine), Pendulum (pendimethalin), Dimension (dithiopyr), or Ronstar (oxadiazon, granular is not dormant, but liquid can be used if still dormant). While Specticle is more effective for Poa annua control and summer annuals such as goosegrass and doveweed, it is equivalent to the standards for crabgrass control. Second, post herbicides that can be used in this transition period are few. ALS-inhibitors mentioned before are definitely safe, but resistance is extensive, thwarting their use. Triazines can delay greenup and cause transition injury. Non-selectives such as glyphosate and glufosinate are out due to spring injury. Final Thought. Herbicides are primary technology we have today to control weeds. We live in a chemical technological age. Unfortunately, weeds, especially Poa annua, have evolved resistance to these herbicides. Our thoughts and ideas we provide herein are meant to reduce the potential for resistance development and all herbicide options are not discussed for brevity. These multi-herbicide strategies now are necessary because herbicide resistance has become so prevalent and it is our goal to strategically use these herbicides to prevent further resistance development and protect herbicide technology for future use. Note: Always read and follow the complete herbicide label before mixing, handling, or applying any product, as the label provides legally required directions for safe, effective use, application rates, precautions, and site-specific restrictions.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Keeping the Game Green: Fall Overseeding Sports Fields” written by David Lawrence with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. For many turf managers, fall marks a welcome transition time when cooler temperatures slow turf growth and the frantic pace of summer maintenance finally eases. The start of the fall season often brings a sense of relief and satisfaction as turf maintains its green color without the surge of growth that demands constant mowing and management. For some, it's a rare chance to pause, reflect on the successes and challenges of the summer, and prepare for the months ahead. However, not everyone gets to slow down. For many sports field managers, fall is one of the busiest times of the year. Football season is in full swing, and fields endure relentless stress from practices, games, and unpredictable weather. While most fans focus on the players and the scoreboard, turfgrass professionals can't help but notice the condition and aesthetic appeal of the playing surfaces when attending a game or watching on television. Beyond appearances, turf managers know that the quality of the surface directly affects player safety. Dense, healthy turf cushions impact, reduces divots and holes, and helps minimize the risk of slips and injuries. One of the most effective ways to maintain both aesthetics and playability during this demanding stretch is through overseeding bermudagrass fields with perennial ryegrass. Across the southeastern U.S., bermudagrass growth slows dramatically in the fall as temperatures drop and daylength shortens, limiting the plant's ability to recover from traffic and wear. Even during milder years, reduced sunlight and cooler nights simply don't allow bermudagrass to sustain vigorous growth and recover after the pounding of a typical football season. That's where perennial ryegrass shines. Its deep-green color, fine texture, and excellent striping potential make it the go-to choice for achieving high-quality field appearance. Beyond visual appeal, perennial ryegrass establishes quickly, provides dense coverage, and enhances traction, all key factors in maintaining safe and consistent playing conditions. A well-established ryegrass overseed offers a stable, even surface that keeps athletes confident in their footing throughout the season. Most athletic field managers begin overseeding in mid-September, adjusting timing based on local climate and field schedules. Typical seeding rates range from 8 to 12 pounds per 1,000 square feet, with periodic supplemental applications to fill divots and high-wear zones such as between hash marks and along sidelines. Proper irrigation and fertility management are critical during establishment. It's important to provide consistent moisture to promote uniform germination, while avoiding excessive wetness that could compromise field conditions during play. Managers should also monitor soil temperatures closely, as seeding too early can stress young ryegrass, while seeding too late can delay establishment as cooler weather sets in. Of course, overseeding comes with challenges. Weed management requires careful planning to avoid damaging both ryegrass and the underlying bermudagrass. Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) remains one of the most persistent issues on overseeded fields. Herbicide options are limited, and success depends heavily on timing for both pre-emergent and post-emergent applications. Precision and patience are essential for achieving control while minimizing damage to desirable turf species. The following provides examples of commonly used products, though it does not represent a complete list of all labeled options. Pre-emergent herbicides such as prodiamine or pronamide can be applied prior to overseeding but must be applied several weeks before the expected overseed date to allow time for herbicide degradation before seeding. Some sulfonylurea herbicides such as foramsulfuron or rimsulfuron can be applied one week prior to overseeding. These products that can be used do not have any pre-emergent activity but will control any annual bluegrass that has already germinated. This application can be beneficial especially when the overseeding date is later into the fall after annual bluegrass germination. Post-emergent options for overseeded turf include ethofumesate, amicarbazone, paclobutrazol, and bispyribac. These products can be temperature dependent so careful planning should be considered when making an application. Some PGRs such as ethephon can reduce or prevent seedhead formation on annual bluegrass when applied at the proper time. Applicators should read all herbicide labels to ensure turfgrass safety while providing the best opportunity for annual bluegrass control. Another management hurdle arises during spring transition. If not carefully managed, perennial ryegrass can delay bermudagrass green-up, leading to thin, uneven turf. Many managers opt for chemical removal of ryegrass once bermudagrass begins active growth, though the timing varies depending on field use and athletic schedules. Sulfonylurea herbicides are commonly used for ryegrass transition. However, due to the increased incidence of ALS herbicide resistance, many managers may need to rely on other products such as pronamide for ryegrass transition if annual bluegrass is present. The goal is to remove ryegrass early enough to allow bermudagrass to recover, yet late enough to maintain playability for spring sports. When managed thoughtfully, fall overseeding with perennial ryegrass delivers multiple benefits such as enhanced color, improved traction, extended playability, and safer, more resilient fields. It's not just about keeping the turf green when bermudagrass slows down; it's about protecting players, preserving field quality, and ensuring that every game, practice, and play happens on a quality surface. For many sports field managers, overseeding is not simply a seasonal task but a key component of year-round field performance and visual quality. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

This conversation delves into the intricacies of managing hunting properties, focusing on soil health, water sources, and the behavioral ecology of deer. The speakers emphasize the importance of creating a closed-loop system for soil health, the strategic placement of water holes to attract wildlife, and the integration of aquatic ecosystems to enhance hunting success. They share personal experiences and practical advice for land management, aiming to maximize the effectiveness of hunting properties. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the importance of ecosystem health, particularly in relation to pond management and wildlife. They emphasize the need for sustainable practices that enhance soil and forage quality while minimizing reliance on chemical interventions. The discussion also covers the significance of water resources in maintaining healthy ecosystems and the impact of current land management practices on wildlife health. The speakers advocate for a shift in mentality towards more holistic and ecologically sound approaches to land management. takeaways Take a broader view of soil function. Soil health discussions have matured over time. Quality plants attract quality animals. Water sources are critical for wildlife, especially in colder months. Placement of water holes should consider deer behavior. Integrate aquatic ecosystems for better wildlife management. Use native vegetation around water sources for better habitat. Understand the landscape of fear in deer behavior. Effective land management requires a holistic approach. Clean water leads to healthier wildlife. I struggle with pushing products; my loyalty is with people. Herbicides can be a medicine, but overuse is abuse. We need to create ecosystems that are abundant. Plant diversity increases insect populations, benefiting wildlife. Convenience often drives poor ecological practices. Improving forage quality is essential for wildlife health. Supplemental feeding can degrade natural forage intake. Clean water is critical for healthy ecosystems. Clear-cutting can negatively impact forage quality. Sustainable practices require a shift in mindset.   Social Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://www.theuntamedambition.com/ https://www.theuntamedambition.com/whitetailambition Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Herbicides are one of the most powerful tools available to landowners, but they can also be one of the most confusing. In this episode, Adam and Matt sit down with Travis and Dan from Orion Solutions to discuss the launch of the new Land & Legacy Guide to Herbicide Use and why understanding herbicides is critical for anyone looking to improve wildlife habitat, increase native plant diversity, establish successful food plots, or control invasive species. Drawing from years of consulting experience across the country, they break down common herbicide mistakes, explain how to select the right products for specific management goals, and discuss the importance of application timing, rates, and techniques. Whether you're battling invasive brush, restoring native grasslands, managing timber stands, or simply trying to grow a cleaner food plot, this guide was created to simplify the process and give landowners a practical resource they can use in the field. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by herbicide labels or unsure about what product to use and when, this episode—and this guide—will help take the guesswork out of habitat management and put you on a path toward healthier landscapes and better wildlife populations.

Australia's chemical regulator allows farmers to continue to use paraquat under tighter restrictions, farmers worry restricted use of the herbicide will lead to great resistance and lower quality crops, and wildlife groups call for $200million to be dedicated to protecting Australia's fauna from H5 bird flu virus.

Stewart Alsop hosts a conversation with Oliver Polzin, a founding team member of Meow Wolf and naturalist, exploring the intersection of creativity, conservation, and architecture. Oliver discusses his current postgraduate work at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles studying synthetic landscapes through an architectural lens, his deep fascination with Pleistocene megafauna and the La Brea Tar Pits, and his vision for creating a "biophilic culture" that reframes humanity's relationship with other species and ecosystems. The discussion ranges from Oliver's early work building mud caves at Meow Wolf to his current explorations of AI-assisted design tools, 3D printing with recycled materials, holistic grazing management systems for the Great Plains, and the ancient Amazonian practice of creating terra preta soil—all part of his broader investigation into how we can design interventions for climate and conservation issues while maintaining what makes us fundamentally human.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Oliver Polzin from Meow Wolf's founding team and discusses how his yoga teaching there inspired the podcast's exploration of creativity and stress relationships.05:00 Oliver describes his architecture graduate program studying climate and conservation through synthetic landscapes, contrasting dark green naturalist ecology with bright green capitalist environmentalism.10:00 Discussion of conservation ethics and AI's potential for monitoring environmental systems, with Oliver explaining his journey from painting to experimental mud construction at early Meow Wolf.15:00 Stewart shares his robotics learning journey with ESP32s in Buenos Aires while Oliver questions humanoid robot design, suggesting functional form factors matter more than human resemblance.20:00 Oliver explores cardboard as material obsession and explains treasure hunt mechanics in Meow Wolf exhibits, creating dopamine-driven discovery experiences through layered storytelling.25:00 Stewart describes creating treasure hunts for Spanish learners in Buenos Aires parks while Oliver validates experiential art's growing importance in an increasingly digital culture.30:00 Conversation shifts to three-d printing flexible filaments for architectural models and Oliver's megafauna book project about La Brea Tar Pits Pleistocene fossils.35:00 Oliver connects Earth consciousness to Pale Blue Dot perspective, arguing humans face developmental threshold understanding planetary responsibility after 300,000 years as anatomically modern species.40:00 Deep dive into end-Pleistocene extinction events and megafauna loss, discussing two-ton capybaras and how predator relationships shaped human psychology and anxiety responses.45:00 Oliver presents speculative Great Plains biopreserve concept with de-extinct megafauna, contrasting holistic rotational grazing with destructive monoculture agriculture systems.50:00 Discussion concludes with Amazonian dark earth technology and indigenous landscape management, emphasizing need for biophilic culture embracing deep time ecological perspective.Key Insights1. Oliver Polzin is part of the founding team of Meow Wolf and is currently studying at SCI-Arc in Downtown LA in a postgraduate program called Synthetic Landscapes, which examines global scale climate and conservation issues through an architectural lens. Architecture exists between art and science, and he believes architectural thinking offers a valuable framework for designing interventions for climate and conservation challenges. This program represents a significant evolution from his earlier work at Meow Wolf, where he created immersive experiential art installations using materials like adobe and cardboard.2. There is an important distinction in ecological thought between what Paul Kingsnorth calls dark green and light green approaches to environmentalism. The dark green strain represents the older naturalist movement from the early twentieth century, focusing on biological systems, ecosystems, and endangered species. Light green emerged in the 1970s after the Earth Day movement and centers on clean energy, solar panels, and wind power as a way to maintain our current lifestyle. Oliver argues that the bright green approach represents a capitalist overlay that has captured the conservation movement, whereas true conservation requires focusing on actual biological systems rather than just technological solutions.3. The experiential art form that Meow Wolf pioneered still has enormous untapped potential, particularly as society becomes increasingly digital. Oliver believes there will be a huge wave of experiential desire in this decade as people crave human connection and real-world excitement. The treasure hunt and scavenger hunt format represents a compelling form of real-life RPG that creates meaningful human interactions. This type of experience design, which Meow Wolf developed through installations like the House of Eternal Return, plays with human dopamine systems by compelling people to open doors, explore spaces, and follow narrative threads through physical environments.4. The architectural model or dollhouse concept represents a crucial rhetorical tool that Oliver is learning to apply to climate and conservation work. Architects have long created physical models to show stakeholders what a building will be like, and this practice of showing a story in compelling ways for different types of brains is essential for getting traction on projects. While architectural models used to be made from foam core, paper, and balsa wood, they are now largely created through 3D printing, which allows for incredibly complex forms and interlocking structures that would have been impossible to construct manually.5. Oliver is obsessed with megafauna and the end Pleistocene extinction event that occurred roughly twelve thousand years ago. For three hundred thousand years, anatomically modern humans existed alongside massive beasts like short faced bears and American lions, and we were the smaller creatures in the ecosystem. The extinction of over one hundred genera of animals over ninety nine pounds, combined with sea level rise of nearly four hundred feet, fundamentally changed human existence and led to the development of agriculture and civilization. Much of our current psychological development, including anxiety responses, is still based on this time period when we lived among these massive animals.6. The current food system in the Great Plains is fundamentally broken compared to the historical managed food system maintained by Plains tribes, who sustained thirty to sixty million bison through 1800. Oliver explored a speculative project about turning the Great Plains into a massive biopreserve of de-extinct megafauna, contrasting the natural system of rotational grazing where predators keep herds moving with the current monoculture crop agriculture that requires external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. The natural system builds soil and increases fecundity, while industrial agriculture degrades soil, creates toxic runoff, and produces genetically modified crops that feed animals in toxic concentrated feeding operations.7. The fundamental challenge facing humanity now is creating what Oliver calls a biophilic or ecophilic culture that is loving of other species and our home planet. This requires both psychological shifts and changes in how we design systems at all scales. The Amazon provides a powerful example of this, as recent LiDAR mapping has revealed that what appeared to be pristine wilderness was actually a vast tended garden created by indigenous civilizations who developed technologies like Amazonian dark earth through burning middens with various additives. These cultures understood how to be embedded in a web with other species while playing an important orchestrating role, offering a model for how humans might relate to other forms of life in our current era.
