Congratulations to Daewon Koo on successfully defending his dissertation today. Under the guidance of Shawn Askew, Ph.D., Dr Koo has advanced both basic & applied science in the use of spray drones. (He was tasked w/ highlighting major discoveries from his work: it was extensive!)

Earth Day in Blacksburg ⛅​🌎​🌷​🥰

THANK YOU Will Cole CTP for hosting students in the VT #Turfgrass Club and letting them help out in tonight’s pregame field prep for the @SalemRedSox.
Will serves on the Virginia Sports Field Management Association BoD - he’s an outstanding groundskeeper and TERRIFIC supporter of our Virginia Tech Turfgrass Science program!

Turf twitter colleagues - curious to your thoughts about 'less mow April' vs 'no mow May'. @vtturfweeds had compelling arguments for why in the Mid-Atlantic that our hypothesis is that a 'less mow April' strategy will work better:

THANK YOU #Turfgrass Research Center mgr. John Hinson for teaching Virginia Tech Turfgrass Science seniors about using specialized turf equipment. Students learned how to operate a Toro TX1000 Dingo, mow using a Lastec XF200 deck, & cultivate the surface w/ a @Ventrac Aera-Vator.

Thanks to Will Cole CTP and the The Salem Red Sox for remembering the importance of April 16 to our Virginia Tech community tonight.

news.vt.edu/content/news_v… Recent article regarding excellent graduate student efforts in Virginia Tech Turfgrass Science.

ABW update for central/Eastern VA by Alejandro Del-Pozo: no spike in adult numbers yet. But, based on previous year, expect to see increase of ABW adult densities during mid to late April; have accrued around 150 GDD in both locations. Soil core sample collection starts next week.
