Highlights from the
2023 NCSU Turfgrass Field Day

It was great to see so many faces at this year’s NCSU Turfgrass Field Day!

TCNC Members, industry experts, educators, students, and vendors from across the state gathered on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at the Lake Wheeler Turfgrass Research Lab in Raleigh, NC. With more than two million acres of turfgrass grown in North Carolina, this annual event is a great way to learn about the latest research and connect with peers.

Participants had an opportunity to view and learn about NC State’s Turfgrass Program and the ongoing research trials. NC State’s faculty and staff and other professionals were on hand to answer questions and provide insight into trends within the industry. Topics discussed included:

• Cultural Practices

• New Cultivars

• Turfgrass Breeding Program

• Fungicide Trials

• Pesticide Fate

• Aerification Technologies

• Aquatic Weed Management

• Weed Control and more

Thanks to the ongoing partnership between the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina and North Carolina State University, TCNC Members were able to attend the event for a discounted fee of only $10.00. Members saved $60.00.

Additionally, attendees were able to obtain CEUs towards their NCDA & CS Pesticide Credits.

On behalf of everyone at TCNC, we would like to extend a special thanks to the entire team at NC State for coordinating a successful day!
