It’s March and we have significant premature greenup. Forecast is 24 degrees this weekend. We get 2-3 strikes before serious injury (depending on how many successive mid-20 nights we have). This is strike one.

We are seeing leaf spot activity here in South Carolina. Underfertilized bermudagrass is particularly susceptible when transitioning in the spring.

Here are data that should give us a little heartburn with respect to PRE herbicide applications. The 24 hour mean soil temperature at our turf field lab is 57.8 degrees (Jan 12-13). We need some lower air temperatures soon!!

We learned early this morning that our friend @wrightsteve19 is dead. He was a champion for Florida superintendents, a wonderful family man and husband, and a joy to be around. He quite simply loved life. More to come later but please keep his wife Sheree in your thoughts.

Doesn't matter that it was chilly earlier this week, fire ants are still active and causing problems. Pay special attention to pathways with in-ground lights. You know how those fire ants love some electric current 🔌💡
