| Abstract/Contents: | "Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is one of the most problematic winter annual weeds in various turfgrass systems across the country, drastically driving up management costs and greatly reducing the aesthetic value of turfgrass landscapes. Since annual bluegrass can express resistance to as many as nine unique herbicide sites-of-action, including cross resistances, and has been known to exhibit various growth habits and life cycles based on its growing environment, many turfgrass managers are left with very few tools in their toolbox to control this weed. Additionally, annual bluegrass has been found infesting all major landmasses including Antarctica. This weed has demonstrated high adaptive potential, but not much is known about how readily and successfully different populations of annual bluegrass will adapt to new turfgrass environments. In fall of 2020, ten unique populations of annual bluegrass from various plant hardiness zones were planted into a common environment in College Station, Texas and various morphological and adaptive traits were measured. We observed a high degree of variability across populations from different geographic locations. General trends were that the southern annual bluegrass populations had greater number of individuals with early-flowering phenotype, whereas annual bluegrass from more northern areas expressed greater early-season tiller production, spring regrowth biomass, and total plant biomass at maturity. All annual bluegrass populations evaluated here established and reproduced successfully, though phenotypic heterogeneity exhibited across the unique populations suggests that annual bluegrass retained the adaptive traits of their maternal parentage. Findings indicate that annual bluegrass infestations into new areas are likely seed limited, rather than limited by their ability to adapt. Efforts should be placed in preventing seed dispersal at local, regional, national and international scales." |
