DISEASE IDENTIFICATION
Many diseases occur on the turfgrasses that are used throughout North Carolina.
Most of the diseases included here are caused by fungi. Some problems that resemble
diseases are caused by environmental or management factors such as cold, heat, drought,
high soluble salts, soil compaction, or chemical damage. Careful identification
of the cause of a problem is important for the selection of proper control methods.
TURF/CULTIVAR SELECTION
This decision aid will assist you in selecting the best grass and varities based
on your environmental and turf use requirements. Results are based on a compilation
of commercially available varieties that have exhibited good performance in North
Carolina State University research trials across the state. These performance recommendations
are based on overall individaul variety quality ratings.
TURF & WEED IDENTIFICATION
Identification of turf grasses and weeds is important for proper turf management.
This decision aid will assist you in identifing grasses, broadleafs, and sedges
common found in in North Carolina turf environments.
WEED MANAGEMENT
This decision aid targets key weeds common to North Carolina turfgrasses. It presents
information from hundreds of herbicide trials performed by Fred Yelverton, Leon
Warren, Travis Gannon, Jason Hinton, and others in the Crop Science Department at
North Carolina State University from 1997 until the present.
TURF IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (TIMS)
NEW!
The TIMS Water Management Program is available to North Carolinians to calculate
and track irrigation use. Using the NC Climate Office current weather data, TIMS
can tell you in number of minutes how long to water your lawn.
