In this TurfNet University Webinar, Dr. Rossi looks back at 2016 and explores various biotic and abiotic stresses that were prevalent last summer and how they might be exacerbated by current popular agronomic and cultural practices.
Zane Raudenbush, Ph.D., of Ohio State’s Agricultural Technical Institute, discusses tools and techniques to help turfgrass managers calibrate a boom sprayer with accuracy and confidence, while also maximizing the effectiveness of plant health products by ensuring proper nozzle selection, spray solution pH and mixing techniques.
Thom Nikolai, Ph.D., of Michigan State and MSU research assistant Nancy Dykema discuss basic soil science concepts including: field capacity, saturation, plant available water, soil moisture content, histosols and subsidence and will relate them to the real world techniques used to determine proper irrigation replacement.
