From the President

Happy Fall, Members!

It was wonderful to see so many turfgrass professionals, enthusiasts, landscape contractors, and more at the annual Turfgrass Field Day at Lake Wheeler Lab. It is always exciting to view the NC State Turfgrass Program’s ongoing research trials and speak directly with NC State’s esteemed faculty and staff. We were able to learn more about a range of topics from integrated pest management to aquatic weed management. Additionally, the insights on weed control and other vital aspects of our field were invaluable.

The value of education has always been a top priority for our organization, and this edition of NC Turfgrass Magazine is no exception. We are proud to present top-notch education and insights from experts such as Dr. Jim Kerns and Dr. Travis Gannon. Their contributions are sure to provide you with the latest knowledge and techniques to advance your practices.

Lastly, it wouldn't be a spotlight on education without a very special recognition of TCNC member and advocate, Dr. Grady Miller. His dedication and contributions to the field of turfgrass science have been instrumental in driving our industry forward.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to excellence in turfgrass management. It is my hope that we all continue to connect and learn from each other.
