Sometimes the answer to a mystery spot is a few steps away. Look at both pics. Green is close harborage for rabbits. Looks like they are enjoying the short grass. #rabbits #turf #turfgrass #agronomy #golfagronomy #turflife #golf #golfcourse #gcsaa

Putting pesticide residues into perspective: a 22 pound child needs to consume 101 gallons of orange juice a day to exceed allowable levels of glyphosate. The presence of a pesticide does not mean there’s a risk of harm. @FloridaTGA

What a difference a year can make! Poa annua green with #reclaimedwater, #plantdisease, #nematodes, and #traffic issues, just to name a few. Correct practices & it’s back & thriving! #turf #turfgrass #turflife #agronomy #golf #golfcourse #gcsaa @SimplotPartners @SimplotCompany

Unwanted visitors to So Cal turf...more Black Cutworm around. This Lepidopteran, Agrotis sp. is not difficult to control but it is destructive if left unchecked.#blackcutworm #insect #turf #agronomy #golfmaintenance #sportsturf #landscape #pesticidesafety #pesticidesafetytraining

Ran into some suspected SU resistant Poa annua this year. There are other post emergent options but it’s time to think about pre-emergent apps in early August. #poaannua #turf #turfgrass #preemergent #turflife #agronomy #golf #sportsturf #golfcoursemanagement @simplotpartners

Top 5 reasons PRE herbicides don’t last all season:

1) Improper product choice or rate.

2) Poor coverage.

3) No rainfall or irrigation for 1-2 wk after treatment.

4) Rainy season.

5) Poor turf density.

Turf diseases stacking up on each other. Confirmed Brown Patch & Take All Patch next to each other on Kikuyugrass fairways. Get those preventative fungicide apps out. #golf #golfcoursemaintenance #turf #turflife #agronomy #plantdisease #brownpatch #takeallpatch @simplotpartners

Anyone else seeing disease this week? I have! How about some dollar spot for starters. Keep your eyes open and watch your fertility. #golf #golfcourse #golfcoursemaintenance #plantdisease #agronomy #turf #poaannua #turflife #fertilize @SimplotPartners

Palm tree seedlings in a Bentgrass/Poa annua green. That’s a first, at least for me. There were hundreds of them in about 1,000 sqft. Not an easy challenge to manage. #golf #golfcourse #golfcoursemaintenance #turf #turfgrass #agronomy #palms @simplotpartners

Seeing more ABW activity as it warms up. The high rain totals followed by the warmer temps will bring higher counts. Get in front of what’s coming. #turf #turfgrass #bentgrass #golf #baseball #football #soccer #futbol #turflife #insects #annualbluegrassweevil

Some large patch out there. Bermuda took a solid hit but the recovery is coming. #golf #soccer #baseball #football #sportsturf #futbol #golfcourse #golfcoursemaintenance #sportsturf #turfgrass #turflife #plantdisease #agronomy #largepatch #rhizoctonia

Billbugs/weevils are out and about...time for the preventative/curative treatments to get out to avoid potential damage. #turf #turfgrass #golf #soccer #futbol #football #baseball #golfcoursemaintenance #turflife #agronomy #billbug #weevil @simplotpartners

Great color response a couple weeks back during cooler temps in the fairways at Annandale GC with minor nutrients and pigment. Brian & crew making it happen! #turf #turfgrass #golf… https://t.co/6TYITTD3oX

Looks like it was snowing in Irvine 😯

[John Nachreiner @NachreinerTurf]

Bunkers frozen as well this morning... officially freezing cold in SoCal.
