Status of Herbicide Resistance in Tennessee - James Brosnan : January, 2014

Occurrences of weed biotypes exhibiting resistance to both PRE and POST herbicides in managed turfgrass have been identified at an increasing rate since 2012. This is a growing concern throughout the industry and will be monitored closely over the next several years. Further, efforts are being made to educate turf managers about integrated weed management strategies to curb the rate of resistance development while the overall magnitude of the problem in Tennessee is still quite small.
