Congratulations to Jon Jennings on earning the E.J. Marshall Platter for outstanding partnership preparing Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. Hosting the U.S. Open at such an iconic venue as he prepares to retire after more than 40 years in course maintenance is truly special!

Take-all root rot (TARR) affects ultradwarf bermudagrass golf course putting greens. Qiyu Zhou, Brandi Merrick, and James Kerns investigated the influence of edaphic factors and source water characteristics on TARR incidence: doi.org/10.1094/PHP-05-25-01… @NCStateCALS
FIGURE 1 Average soil nutrient levels in milligrams per cubic decimeter (mg dm−3) of A, phosphorus; B, potassium; C, calcium; D, copper; E, magnesium; F, sulfur; G, manganese; and H, zinc, from locations with and without take-all root rot (TARR) diagnosis. Least squares means followed by a different letter are different (P < 0.05) according to Tukey's least squares means test. Bars indicate the mean and standard deviation calculated from three replicates.
