Pretty incredible impacts of the timing of autonomous mowing on dollar spot development. On the peak disease date of Aug 12, 2026 there was a 96% reduction in DS when mowed at midnight compared to 9 AM and a 91% reduction when mowed at 3 AM. The pics below tell the story
I'm pleased to announce the opening of a turfgrass management certificate course developed by @LSUOnline and @LSUCE in partnership with the @LSUAgCenter. See URL below.
