Jim Kerns and I share some thoughts on turfgrass disease diagnosis in our latest post. turfpathology.ces.ncsu.edu/2024/07/turfgr…

Ever wonder how much better fungicides have gotten in 20 years? Come to field day next week!!!!

With the forecasted rain, if you haven’t done so already, it is a good idea to get some Pythium and leaf spot protection down for bermudagrass greens. Another app for root rot on bent might be needed too! Pay attention to Terri Billeisen for an update of army worms after this too.

Fall armyworm egg masses everywhere right now. They darken as they get closer to egg hatch. Excessive rainfall may slow them down for a bit but once the storm moves through, expect activity to increase quickly and substantially.

Registration for the Sandhills Turfgrass Conference and Field Day is open! Sep 4th 8-12. If you can’t come to the Lake Wheeler field day next week, here’s a second chance to learn from Travis Gannon Lee Butler Terri Billeisen and others, don’t miss it! web.cvent.com/event/4300e9f2…

🥰 Hard to believe it’s been EIGHT years! Incredibly thankful for the impact #TurfResearchNorthCarolina has had on my program. #TeamWork

Turfgrass field day NC State University usually seems like it’s the hottest day of the year, but we got lucky with a very pleasant morning! Great to see the turf industry out in force networking and learning about the latest research on everything from herbicide resistance to topdressing.

Go pack! 💪🏿🐺 NCSU Turf Alumni NC State Turf Club

🚨Fall armyworms are no joke, y'all. Hitting NC hard and fast after Debby. Keep an eye out for egg masses, caterpillars and be sure to soap flush. Pyrethroids for immediate control, diamides for long-term.
