Our recent publication shows that 55-65°F is the optimal 5-day average soil temp range to apply fungicides for spring dead spot. My student @MikeB_Turf is further refining this by developing a cooling degree-day model that he’ll present next week @ASA_CSSA_SSSA

Rare uptick in $ spot potential indicated by the Smith Kerns model this morning. If your last application on bentgrass was a contact or in early Oct., consider scouting for damage and perhaps putting out a strong preventive to go into winter clean. turf.purdue.edu/turf-disease…

Gray leaf spot eating well in November at the Benelli house. Extended season for this disease it seems.

Happy to share that our paper detailing iron sulfate for use on dollar spot suppression in WI, MN, and VA is now published. Thanks to @GCSAA @WGCSA @MnGCSA for funding this work! @djsoldat @kurtaculous @VTTurfPath @StrawTurf

The recent storms and moderate temps in Arkansas completed the final leg of the Disease Triangle: conducive environment. Large patch is loving life! @APS_Turfgrass

You don't need to be a trained turf pathologist to spot the controls in this brown patch study #smoked

Excited to get this spring dead spot review published in @crop_science to present at the International Turfgrass Research Conference in 2025. I really enjoyed working with the excellent team of co-authors on this paper!

Laid our take-all patch trial out at Metuchen G&CC this morning. Great thanks to @JasonOsterhoudt for letting us kill your grass...

Symptoms of mini ring coming on strong in SC. Diving soil temps next week should slow down the pathogen big time.

I think it’s safe to say Rhizoctonia solani (large patch) is loving these conditions in Raleigh, NC on ‘Zeon’ zoysia!

The NC State TDL will waive all fees associated with our services through the end of 2024 for any turfgrass manager in Western North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. @KernsJim @CarolinasGCSA

Ha! A lonely brown patch decided to meet the world in late September.

The 2025 Dollar Spot Research Conference will be held Mar 18/19, 2025 in Pinehurst, NC. Public and private researchers globally are invited to attend in-person or remotely.
For now save the date, but more details will be available at the following site: turf.wisc.edu/2025-dollar-sp…

Our last year nematode survey resulted in the first report of sting nematode from turf in MD @umdturf
First report of sting nematode in Maryland! sciendo.com/article/10.2478/…

There has been a lot of chatter in recent years about how snow mold fungicides are holding up during these wild winter swings. I summarize the latest research from @kurtaculous and I below:
Researchers conducted a new study at the O.J. Noer Turfgrass Research and Education Facility in Madison, Wis., to test winter rain’s impact on snow mold fungicides.
See the results below. ⬇️
