The Future of Turfgrass Weed Science  

 

Help Improve the Tennessee Turfgrass Conference

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

The Tennessee Turfgrass Association (TTA) Conference and Trade Show was a success again in 2012.
 
In an effort to continually improve the quality of our programming, TTA is conducting a survey to learn how our event can be improved in future years. This short survey is open to anyone that has ever attended the Tennessee Turgrass Conference and Trade Show. 
 
Please take 5 minutes to complete this short survey by clicking the link below. Your valuable feedback will help improve the quality of our educational programming in future years.

Warm Temperatures May Mean More Weeds

Friday, January 20, 2012

The winter season has been exceptionally warm throughout much of Tennessee. To date, average temperatures have been 10 degrees warmer in 2012 compared to last year. As a result, many winter annual grassy and broadleaf weeds such as annual bluegrass, henbit, and hairy bittercress are thriving.
 
However, all hope is not lost. Warm temperatures will also facilitate herbicide absorption. Thus, turfgrass managers throughout the state should consider applying herbicides for winter annual weed control while conditions remain warmer than normal. Often non-selective herbicides applied to completely dormant bermudagrass turf stands provide an economical option for broad spectrum winter annual weed control. The UT Turfgrass Weed Science team has compiled information on both winter annual broadleaf weed control as well as annual bluegrass control in overseeded and non-overseeded bermudagrass turf to assist turf managers in Tennessee with winter weed control decisions.

New Mobile Weed Identification Tool

Monday, October 31, 2011

Our main site has gone mobile! We've taken the weed identification tool that has been part of this site since its inception and optimized it for use on smartphones and iPads. Be sure to use http://tennesseeturfgrassweeds.org/mobile for all of your weed identification and control needs in the field.
