SUMMARY:Strategies for controlling Bermudagrass in Zoysiagrass
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Clayton from the University of Kentucky presents a comprehensive webinar on managing bermudagrass infestations in zoysiagrass stands.\n \n\n	In this webinar presented by LebanonTurf\, he begins by explaining why zoysiagrass is well-suited for the transition zone\, highlighting its drought tolerance\, low maintenance requirements\, and slow growth characteristics that make it attractive for golf courses and turf areas.\n \n\n	Clayton then addresses the challenge of bermudagrass as a problematic weed\, explaining its aggressive spreading nature through stolons and rhizomes\, and why it competes so effectively with zoysia grass.

SUMMARY:What is ahead for the remainder of winter and what can you expect moving into spring and summer?
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar presented by LebanonTurf\, Herb Stevens and Garrett Bastardi of Flash Agronomy discuss what is in store for the remainder of winter and what turf managers across the nation can expect moving into spring and summer.\n \n\n	For much of the country\, winter got off to a very mild start. But that was abruptly interrupted by extreme cold\, copious amounts of snow and crippling ice storms that affected about half the country.\n \n\n	After the groundhog said six more weeks of winter\, unseasonably mild conditions have since dominated midwinter conditions.\n \n\n\n		\n	\n\n\n
