@LV_Scientific has a dedicated turf clinic that specialises in ppns as well as a turf research programme. In the 2021 plan, 20 complimentary NDI assessments are available (N. Ireland only). DM/email me if interested and available to take a sample w/c 14th June! Plz RT (5/5)

[Dr Deborah Cox @Deborah_LVS]

Please remember plant parasitic nematodes are pretty much everywhere. It’s not possible to eliminate them but getting the timing right for treatment is critical for control. Treatment isn’t always necessary, so consult with turf experts to ensure results are in context. (4/5)

[Dr Deborah Cox @Deborah_LVS]

Encouraging strong deeper rooting systems can really help with preventing some symptoms. There are many products available on the market to help you do this & reduce abiotic stress. Consider raising the cut height too if it’s available to you. (3/5)

[Dr Deborah Cox @Deborah_LVS]

Issues tend to arise in roughly the same area year on year but not at exactly the same time. So if you do an audit or have historical data to hand you’ll know where best to focus your attention. (2/5)

[Dr Deborah Cox @Deborah_LVS]

Over the last two weeks soil temperatures here have started to be consistently higher (>20oC). If you’re turning your attention to plant parasitic nematode management in cool season turf over the summer there’s a few useful tips to remember below. (1/5)
