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

SUMMARY:Annual bluegrass weevil update and methods for control
DESCRIPTION:Annual bluegrass weevil is a pest found primarily in low mowed annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass\, where it feeds on the roots and crowns of the plant. Given its preferred food source\, golf course turf.\n \n\n	Since it was first discovered nearly 70 years ago in New York\, ABW is now found in more than 20 states including parts of the upper South. In this TurfNet University webinar presented by LebanonTurf\, Kenneth Clayton of the University of Kentucky discusses the history of ABW\, conditions under which it thrives and why it is on the move.\n \n\n	The presentation includes tips on controlling this rapidly spreading pest.

SUMMARY:Be your own environmental champion | Jim Pavonetti\, CGCS\, Fairview CC
DESCRIPTION:In this TurfNet University webinar presented by LebanonTurf\, Jim Pavonetti\, CGCS at Fairview Country Club in Greenwich\, Connecticut\, will discuss how superintendents can advocate for their own environmental stewardship efforts. \nPavonetti is a multiple winner of the GCSAA Environmental Leaders in Golf award and in February was the recipient of the GCSAA President’s Award for Environmental Stewardship. In 2024\, Pavonetti was named to the Audubon International board of directors and served on the Greenwich Sustainability Committee that implements sustainable environmental policies and practices to make the city a “vibrant\, resilient\, safe and sustainable town.” \nAn accomplished photographer who actively shares images that represent his work and that of his team\, will discuss how telling your own story of stewardship promotes positive public relations within the club and the community. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER >>>

SUMMARY:Future of fertilizer: Nanoparticles as an ultra-efficient delivery system
DESCRIPTION:In this TurfNet University webinar sponsored by LebanonTurf\, John Dempsey\, Ph.D.\, will explore how nanoparticle-based fertilizers are reshaping turfgrass nutrition\, performance and sustainability. \nHe will discuss how nano-formulated NPK and nanosilica differ from traditional fertilizers in their physical and chemical behaviour—such as targeted delivery\, controlled release\, and improved compatibility—and why that matters for turf growth\, color\, stress tolerance\, and overall plant health. \nKey topics include: \n\nHow nanosilica enhances turf resilience through improved drought tolerance\, disease suppression\, and nutrient uptake.\nPractical approaches for integrating nanosilica into turf programs for residential lawns\, sports fields\, and golf courses\, including application timing and rate considerations.\nThe latest research on the performance\, environmental footprint\, and cost-effectiveness of nanosilica in turfgrass systems.\nEmerging trends in nanotechnology and what they mean for future turf management strategies\, regulations\, and product development.\n\nThe webinar will also feature results from independent field and research trials\, highlighting real-world outcomes in nutrition efficiency\, disease management\, and water-stress mitigation using nanosilica-based solutions\, with clear takeaways you can apply directly to your turf management programs. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER >>>

SUMMARY:Surprising surfactants! Key insights from six years of turfgrass research
DESCRIPTION:In this TurfNet University webinar sponsored by LebanonTurf\, John Dempsey\, Ph.D.\, will unpack the real value of surfactants\, wetting agents\, and penetrants in modern turf management. Moving beyond their reputation as simple water movers\, this session examines what these products do in the rootzone—and whether they truly deliver a worthwhile return on investment. \nDrawing on six years of rigorous turfgrass research\, including recently published peer-reviewed studies\, the webinar will: \n\nDemonstrate how surfactants can significantly improve turf health and quality—even under periods of regular rainfall\nExplain how different surfactant chemistries\, including the latest nanoparticle-based formulations\, influence rootzone moisture dynamics\nHighlight measurable impacts on turf performance\, from plant health and visual quality to consistency and surface playability\nProvide guidance on practical use patterns and decision-making to maximize benefits and justify costs\n\nYou’ll come away with a clearer\, research-based understanding of how to select and use surfactants to enhance turf performance across golf courses\, sports fields\, and high-performance lawns. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER >>>
