“Calling Dr. Turf” Training Videos

TheVirginia Tech Turf Team has developed a series of concise, to-the-point training videos you can use in your company. These videos, collectively named “Calling Dr. Turf”, are freely available on YouTube. The videos detail a variety of best management practices (BMPs) in lawn care that ultimately provides great looking, healthy turfgrass. By utilizing these BMPs, your customers gain a healthy lawn and soil, and protect themselves, others, and the environment by employing simple, science-based management programs.

In one of the training videos, “In PPE and Me,” the Turf Doctors explain the importance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), where to find it on the label of a pesticide, and how the concept of PPE applies even to something as basic as mowing the lawn when it comes to protecting yourself, others and the environment. For safety, it’s all about the PPE.
