Welcome to Arkansas Turfgrass Magazine!

From Dr. Douglas Karcher, Education Director

Greetings from the University of Arkansas Turfgrass Science program! As the director of the Arkansas Turfgrass Association’s educational program, I am excited about the launch of Arkansas Turfgrass Magazine and the opportunity this will give Dr. Richardson and me to communicate with our turfgrass industry. We will do our best to ensure that each issue of Arkansas Turfgrass has an educational article that is specifically relevant to Arkansan turfgrass managers.

I encourage you to subscribe to our ARKTURF listserv, so that you can receive timely information on current turf management issues (pests or weather-related) and upcoming educational events. You may subscribe by selecting the “Sign Up for Our Listserv” button on the turf.uark.edu home page. Also, please note that we will hold our Turfgrass Field Day on July 24 this year, and more info on this will be published in the June edition of Arkansas Turfgrass. Finally, I’d like to hear from you regarding the types of educational information that you would like to see published in Arkansas Turfgrass, or presented at our Field Day and the ATA Annual Conference. Send your ideas and comments to me at karcher@uark.edu. Dr. Richardson and I wish you a productive 2019 growing season!
