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!

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!

Lovely chatting with @FrankSpeaks3 and @Carl_Schimenti about cool-season turf root diseases. We talked about why knowing the root pathogen community matters. tinyurl.com/TurfTAP Learning something new each year yet there's so much more to learn! @Cornell_Turf @RUturfCenter
