1. A method for selectively controlling the growth of Poa annua in a turfgrass, the method comprising: applying at least one application of a composition comprising an herbicidally-effective amount of tebuconazole, or a salt thereof, to the turfgrass before Poa annua emerges, wherein the composition comprising the herbicidally-effective amount of tebuconazole reduces the growth of the Poa annua in comparison to the same composition lacking the tebuconazole.
