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.

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!

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. ⬇️
