Photo of the week: a Penn A1/A4 putting green seeded in 2008 & fertilized with P in 2008. No P since. The photo description includes a link to a video with more information about the Mehlich-3 soil test P (single digits) & Poa annua on this green (none)

A regular reminder that if the distance between the rolls of balls in two directions from a stimpmeter is greater than 45 cm (18 inches), the green speed is overestimated. Here's a fix. #TurfHacks https://t.co/Jp6cIeFlJl

For what it’s worth (not a recommendation), Poa control in bermuda next to bent greens. Controlled rates, irrigation, traffic. Only 1 app in Oct, but best control with Specticle 3oz/A; PoaCure 2.4oz/M (2x); Cumyluron 6oz/M. No bent injury. Also, 👍🏻 repeat apps Xonerate 2SC 3oz/A.

This is such a great resource for resistance management of fungicides. I probably refer to it monthly. Thx OSU for producing such a nice, easy to read document!! 👌
