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
Last Tue. marked the first day of fieldwork in 2026 for the Chou lab. Trying to fix the moss problem on our putting green. Mocha cakes anyone?

Details about the Thai GCSA's extraordinarily fun conference in the salubrious beachside town of Pattaya, Thailand, are updated on the website and in this brand new poster. #TurfTourism stmia.asianturfgrass.com/
Treatment effects of blue-green algae control study became very visually apparent after some good rain over the weekend. Few of the plant-derived biological products worked pretty well, whereas one herbicide with bactericidal effect caused damage. More to disclose soon...
Thank you all superintendents, turfgrass mangers and all involved in making our industry better each day! 🙏⛳️💕🏞️
Before the sun rises, they’re already hard at work.
Every detail matters.
Every blade of grass counts.
Golf thrives because of superintendents.
Happy #ThankASuper Day!

We know that the N fert decreases dollar spot, but we don't know why. Our most recent paper led by @Suwell86 suggests that N influences the microbiome, specifically increasing oxalic acid-degrading bacteria, which leads to reduced disease. Give it a read!

It has been for us in Wisconsin, now it’s working for Kerns and Co down in North Carolina. Stay tuned for more details…
Super cool study we are conducting that was the brain child of @plkoch2 and @kurtaculous. Potassium bicarbonate suppressing dollar spot quite well. Well done gentleman on this work!

Excited to work on this @GCSAA sponsored project (tinyurl.com/gcsaaalgae) investigating novel algae control solutions on putting greens. Promising preliminary results have been observed in the lab - we hope to bring the research to the field soon!
