Chemical testing

 
After 5 weeks and about 4 applications, you can really see what has happened. 
 
Xonerate:  It has officially killed everything.
 
Velocity: The Poa annua will certainly die but the stand of surrounding bentgrass was off colored for several weeks and thinned a great deal.  However, the bentgrass is beginning to recover. 
 
At this point, I am not sold on either chemistry as neither would be acceptable to the membership.

Once again, both of these chemicals are labeled to remove Poa annua from bentgrass.  Our only hope is a few years away, perhaps 2017, when PoaCure is released.
