Two additional cases of annual bluegrass weevil have now been confirmed in central WI by @TurfEnto. Both courses are near the original ABW ID from 2020. Other courses in this area should begin scouting for ABW. For more information visit: tdl.wisc.edu/annual-bluegras…

Fall armyworm QOTD: Can they move from infested turf to neighboring ornamentals? Yes, they sure can. They prefer grasses but will feed on all aboveground parts of herbaceous ornamentals. Liquid products for pyrethroids (short-term), diamides provide longer window of protection.

Opened today for some member play! So excited for the world to see.
East Lake has gone through its most extensive restoration since the mid-1990s.

🚨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.

Hearing & seeing the same thing as @turfbutler, especially in our warmer regions of Virginia. He has provided great advice to stay on top of this potentially devastating disease that is primed to explode after our weather pattern shifted from desert to tropics recently. #vaturf

Thanks to @VTTurfTeaching for posting & to @VTTurfPath for getting answers to a query about lawn diseases in Va. With the rain & warmth of early May around the Commonwealth, we expect to see lots of disease pressure, especially on cool-season lawns: turf.spes.vt.edu/turf-clippi…
