Nufarm debuts Velocity Poa Management Herbicide

The new product will launch this March.

Starting in March 2024, turfgrass managers can use Nufarm's Velocity Poa Management Herbicide.

Velocity PM is designed to gradually and selectively remove postemergence annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and roughstalk bluegrass (Poa trivialis) while also reducing Poa annua seedhead production and suppressing dollar spot.

Velocity PM’s Poa Management Program is optimized for the spring, summer and fall, providing flexibility to customize the transition program for the desired speed of conversion, allowing for more uniform turfgrass transition at your pace.

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

Velocity PM is effective on Creeping Bentgrass, Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue and Dormant Bermudagrass and is labeled for golf course fairways and tees, commercial and residential turfgrass, athletic fields and sod farms. With a low use rate, Velocity PM equips turfgrass managers with an efficient and economical tool for Poa removal while being tank-mix compatible with PGRs, fertilizers and fungicides. Velocity PM also adds control of numerous broadleaf weeds.
