We have crabgrass emergence in thin turf areas at the ETREC in Knoxville.

Save the Date for #BEACON24 with UT Turfgrass. Day 1: a career-focused social event for #turfgrass employers to engage with students. Day 2: themed and thoughtful research field plot tours. Our goal: meaningful engagement and fellowship with our industry. More info coming soon.

My wild forsythia is getting close to full bloom. That means crabgrass is in on the way. If weather patterns hold and soil temps continue upward we should have crabgrass germinating in the Tennessee in the next 2-3 weeks.

Lots of questions about #PoaAnnua control this time of year, often on UDB greens. Plenty of good treatments in this trial and some that haven't met the challenge. #PicOfTheMonth for February UT Turfgrass

Should be great conditions this week for those making non-selective herbicide apps on dormant bermudagrass in East Tennessee TGCSA Tennessee Turfgrass TN Valley Sports Field Management Association UT Extension #TNturf

First mix and spray for 2024. Target for today is Poa. Happy New Year!

Thanks to everyone who offered a guess. The only difference here is cultivar.....Tahoma 31 (left) vs Latitude 36 (right). Soil is identical and all management practices (HOC, nutrients, irrigation, etc) are the same. Photo was taken on 10/25/23.
