<p>Herbicide resistance emerges as a major theme. McCullough presents field and greenhouse data showing widespread Poa annua (<em>Poa annua</em>) resistance to dinitroaniline and sulfonylurea herbicides across Georgia golf courses, sod farms, and lawns, along with halosulfuron-resistant sedge (<em>Cyperus compressus</em>) populations. He demonstrates how combining modes of action — such as pairing a sulfonylurea with simazine — controlled resistant biotypes at all three golf course test sites. The presentation concludes with updates on new 2018 products: RELZAR, Game On, and Switchblade (all containing the new active ingredient halauxifen from Dow); Vexis (pyrimisulfan + penoxsulam); Solero (mesosulfuron from Nufarm); Dismiss NXT (sulfentrazone + carfentrazone from FMC); and Coastal (simazine + imazaquin + prodiamine from Sipcam).</p>

<p>The core of the presentation was a three-step process for selecting herbicides: determine what is labeled and safe for the target ornamental, identify the primary and secondary weed species, and combine those into a year-round rotation using different modes of action. Marble walked through a detailed example using container-grown gardenia, narrowing granular pre-emergent options using the 2017 Southeast Pest Control Guide's efficacy and safety charts, then building a seasonal rotation targeting spotted spurge and eclipta in warm months and bittercress, annual bluegrass, and oxalis in cool months. He presented research showing that combining pre-emergent herbicides like Specticle or SureGuard with post-emergence treatments reduced total herbicide use by 40 to 60 percent and costs by up to 30 percent compared to post-only programs. Marble also reviewed post-emergence alternatives to glyphosate — including glufosinate, acetic acid products, and other desiccant-type herbicides — noting that while they provide fast initial burndown, most require follow-up applications for lasting control. He concluded by highlighting underutilized selective options such as graminicides for grass control in ornamental beds and products like Basagran, Lontrel, and Certainty for sedge and broadleaf management.</p>

<p>The third case study examined the orange-striped oakworm moth, a native pest of native oaks. Dr. Graziosi explained why clonal nursery stock in urban landscapes creates genetically uniform stands with low resistance, compounded by urban heat effects. He outlined a practical decision framework: managers should distinguish aesthetic damage from actual harm using a 25% defoliation threshold and recognize that late-season defoliation is less damaging. Btk (<em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em> kurstaki) as a foliar spray is effective against young larvae with minimal impact on natural enemies.</p>
