@PGRBill @CProdahl Nitrogen mineralization thoughts? We can incite the symptoms with 0.2 lbs/M (no mttr the source) every 7 days when soils are above 68F and no mattr the PGR treatment in trials. Wish I had time to publish our results from limited replicated work. Tissue N above 5.8%N. Curious u?

@iTweetTurf Littles on the route 100 in south Coventry (Pottstown). It’s 1000 yards from my front door.

@TZurybida It’s very dry. I’m seeing more winter time sod/establish struggles than I ever have.

@AdamMoeller I’ve gotten a ton of calls about this. I agree with your thoughts. The other good thing is sun light hours for dormancy break (winter solstice) are a lot shorter than February. I’ve advised people to pull a few plugs next week when it thaws just to gauge.

Is there a smarter, more practical scientific mind than Steve McDonald in our community? Dude packed a year’s worth of great info into about 36 minutes. 👏👏👏 #NJGreenExpo @GCSANJ1926

@TurfEnto That’s great pressure. I’m shocked at the pressure in our trials this year too. #itwasdry #sodcutterfindsthem

[SMcDonald @TurfgrassDS]

@DonWalinga White leaf for sure. I’ve seen more than 6 cases the past few weeks, but I tend to get calls when things look off. I have never seen this respond to any plant protection material. I feel it has something to do with day length and sun hours and is mostly abiotic.

The week of August 29th was a split week with some heat & drought stress early & then a cool down with less humidity. In this video, I highlight Bermudagrass suggestions leading into dormancy in the NE and Mid-Atlantic regions, spring dead spot control and observations on white👉🏼

This video update highlights the week in agronomics in fine turf, diseases like summer patch, gray leaf spot and fairy ring as well as some goosegrass control. https://t.co/NBYNoKakOw

The week of August 22 was another dry week and another challenging one for most golf courses and athletic field managers in the North-east and the Mid-Atlantic regions. While there was some teaser rain showers, nothing major for most. More 👉🏼
