Our UT Turfgrass team is conducting a survey of golf facilities across the state to collect important information on irrigation and other water-related infrastructure. Complete the survey here: rb.gy/cnfd0g

Even without fertilization, P and K levels are sufficient in many native soils.

A foundational low-input management practice: apply fertilizer only to elicit a plant response.
