Today's episode is the 2nd instalment of the Poa forum which we hosted back in 2022 at Woodlands Golf Club with our partners Greenway Turf Solutions and K&B Adams. Dr Brosnan talks about strategies for Poa control not just from a chemical point of view but also culturally and agronomy practices.

Ep 55 Poa Forum Dr Jim Brosnan Part 1
This episode is part 1 of the poa forum we did in Melbourne back in October 2022 where over 70 turf manages from Australia attended. Don't let the timing from 2022 fool you as this podcast gives you the latest research in managing poa in turf. Dr Jim Brosnan is a good friend of ours and goes through in depth on the poa plant as well as control strategies. The series is spilt into 4 parts due to the length of the forum.
We would like to thank K&B Adams and Greenway Turf Solutions in helping to sponsor this forum.
