Alternative Herbicides for Controlling Herbicide-Resistant Annual Bluegrass (<i>Poa annua</i> L.) in Turf

<i>Poa annua</i> is a cosmopolitan, cool-season grass species regarded as one of the most significant weeds of turfgrass. It is mainly controlled by herbicides; however, repeated use of herbicides in golf turf has resulted in the evolution of multiple-herbicide resistant <i>P. annu...
