Managing annual bluegrass in creeping red fescue seed production fields in the Peace Region
Annual bluegrass is emerging as a major threat to creeping red fescue seed production in the Peace Region. A recent RDAR-funded study led by SARDA Ag Research evaluated several herbicide options for controlling this patchy, fast-spreading weed. The results offer practical insights into product performance, crop tolerance, and the importance of site-specific management.
