Turf seed.Tuff-Seed is announcing two new products. First, a new chemical called Velocity, which has been shown to be extremely effective in controlling Pea annua in test plots. Developed by Valent Corp., marketed by Turf-Seed, Inc., Velocity is being used for selective control of Pea annua and Pea trivialis in perennial ryes and bentgrasses, on fairways and roughs, and is being considered for greens and tees. Used in light, frequent applications, it suppresses the growth of Pea annua and trivialis, killing it slowly, allowing the bent-grass to fill in so the golfer doesn't notice the new growth.
