Around the Turf Scene

The days are getting shorter, the nights longer and the temperatures are falling. Before we know…

Winterkill is turf loss during the wintertime. Its damage can be found in cool season areas, warm season areas or the transition zone and there are several conditions that cause winterkill: crown hydration, winter desiccation, low-temperature kill, ice sheets, and snow mold. With this in mind, let’s take a look at how to help prevent some causes of winterkill before winter even starts.

While most turfgrass managers stop applications of soil surfactants on fine turfgrass areas soon after the summer stress periods end, there are many benefits of making a soil surfactant application in the late fall prior to the ground freezing.

With fall aerification finished for most of us, it’s time to focus on the final step before putting your turf to bed for the season.
