The “sheriff” aka Dr. Jack Fry talking thatch management at KSU field day! K-State's Turf and Landscape Management Team #goodtobeinperson #gieseonthegreen

Pretty accurate....

I know mole crickets can travel, but in the airport AND claiming a checked bag is just plain ridiculous. @KCIAirport #molecricketfun #gieseonthegreen Probably an immature nymph. Walked away while I was talking to it…

In WI most years, dollar spot pressure is consistently medium/high during the summer, evidenced by a relatively flat Dollar Spot Risk line. This year the line looks like an EKG printout...which has offered multiple periods to extend fungicide intervals. tdl.wisc.edu/dollar-spot-mo…

I’d say the early season app of #Acelepryn is working on keeping these #Armyworms at bay here Chambersburg CC. @TurfEnto Elliott Dowling

Results in wheat roots indicated propiconazole uptake didn't require plant energy. Assuming this applies to turf leaves and to other fungicides, it means plants don't need to be actively growing for snow mold products to work. Our own snow mold research also supports this.

And that’s a wrap! The third very successful First Green event in the KC area this spring! Thanks to all the volunteers for helping today and the last two events. #onward @gcsaa Jonathan Bennett Matt Giese

Annual bluegrass weevil appears to have arrived in Michigan and although we don't believe it is widespread at this point, it definitely can cause significant damage as witnessed at one golf course in southeast Michigan. canr.msu.edu/news/suspected…

Prime time for billbug damage in Meyer zoysiagrass. Lots of large larvae, pupae and even some callow adults. But, most of them in our plots are bluegrass billbugs! Revenge treatments aren’t a great of option. extension.entm.purdue.edu/publications/E…

Oftentimes I tweet out messages to extend spray intervals when disease pressure is low. This...is not one of those times. Using both the SK Model and your eyes, it's a feisty crop of dollar spot right now.

Congrats Roch!

We're celebrating 30 years of Primo! 🥳 The game changing PGR was registered 30 years ago today. Let us know how Primo has helped your course in the comments below ⬇️ PrimoTurns30

Billbug are on the move or will be very soon across most of the region. If adults are your target (contact insecticides), or you want to target larvae inside the plant (systemic insecticides), now is the time. extension.entm.purdue.edu/publications/E…

If you've been using the Smith-Kerns $ spot Model during this #nohumiditysummer in the upper Midwest you have saved at least 2-3 fungicide apps targeting $ spot already this year compared to a calendar program. If you aren't using the model, you should: tdl.wisc.edu/dollar-spot-mo…

Three former C5Turf Chairpersons walk into a bar… 😂. Lots of turf education at the Purdue Turf Field Day. Dr. B.I.G. Matt Giese PS - notice my #FriskyFairyRingFriday hat 😁
