@TMobileHelp @reel__jess @TMobileHelp do you have estimate for when it will be fixed?

[Jesse Benelli @JJBenelli]

Between the rain, Dr. Kerns team at NC State were discussing a timely concern. Pythium root rot.

Best long term treatment: 3 way tank-mix of sunlight, air movement, and drainage.

When not available - programs with Fame + Serata rotated with Resilia did pretty dang well.

[Jesse Benelli @JJBenelli]

Rotating modes of action is critical for managing Pythium root diseases. In this ongoing NC State trial, Resilia (FRAC 3/7/28) is being alternated with Fame (11) + Serata (U17). For biweekly protection from May through Sep, consider Signature (P07) and Cyazofamid (21) as well.

Enjoyed another couple of weeks looking at replicated poa research plots. Visually - the best and most consistent performers across trials were the treatments that incorporated multiple MOAs.

[Envu Golf US @EnvuGolfUS]

In a study at Pinehurst No. 2, we saw the long-term benefits of using Resilia™ root health solution. From April to July 2023 we applied Resilia or Indemnify® nematicide on select plots. A year later, you can see how it benefited the turf’s long-term health. https://t.co/5CGVCKtCaZ

@EnvuGolfUS That spray pattern 🔥

🚨 Heads up tall fescue managers! Active gray leaf spot in 2 trial locations in the Raleigh area this week. QoI’s alone won’t hold this back, so now is the time to add a DMI and/or t-methyl. Given the forecast, we hope you all are on top of this one because damage will be swift.

BREAKING: @FMCCorp signs agreement to sell Global Specialty Solutions business, which includes @FMCturf, to Envu. @EnvuGolfUS

Despite the abnormally dry spell here in Raleigh, NC, we are starting to see brown patch on tall fescue and creeping bentgrass (dollar spot fading a bit). I imagine a lot of diseases will explode once we start getting frequent afternoon storms, so have your prevent apps out! 👍

Protect your roots from soilborne pathogens. Hear from Dr. Jesse Benelli from Envu as he shares the good results of a fungicide program trial involving Resilia™ root health solution. This trial was completed in collaboration with Dr. Kerns' lab @NCState. https://t.co/s5OJjdOMUv

@JJBenelli It looks like he embraced “No mow 2020”

[Patrick Maxwell @PatrickJMaxwell]

@KernsJim @TloweTgrass Treating after aerification but prior to topdressing is about the only way and even then, active needs to persist for ~30 to 60 days. The thatch layer is one heck of a barrier.

Great opportunity for someone!

The results are in and there are some interesting changes compared to years past. Read more in our annual Turf Diagnostics Lab data summary and review of golf turf samples for 2023.

[Shawn Askew, Ph.D. @VTTurfweeds]

I am not surprised that when a large, robust study was finally conducted, it does not replicate the negative claims regarding soil health. This is often the case surrounding this “hot-topic“ herbicide. Lots of “weak science” and misquotes associated with the fear mongering.

@TurfEnto Super cool stuff, thanks for the insight! When I first saw the image, it took me a minute to realize those weren’t armyworms.
