There are 3 chronic issues in turfgrass management:

• Drainage
• Air movement
• Shade

In this series of one-hour webinars, the agronomic symptoms from each are examined. Our experts provide background on the challenge and offer solutions to help mitigate the issue at your golf course.

Mike Richardson, Ph.D., professor of horticulture at the University of Arkansas, ends the series with ways to diagnose shade stress on turf. He provides details of which turf can best handle shade and how to communicate with golfers when you may need to remove that favorite tree.

Part One of the Triple Trouble Series covers drainage and is led by Jim Murphy, Ph.D.

Part Two of the Triple Trouble Series covers air movement and is led by Bud White, CPAg.
