Club at Mediterra, Naples FL– Tif Eagle Grow-In 2017 Protocol for Pike Creek June and August 2017 (South and North Courses) Lexicon Intrinsic applied at 0.47 fl oz / 1000 sq ft 5-10 days prior to the cutting/ washing/shipping. Apply at required spray volume of 70-75 gal/Ac.* Irrigation should occur directly following the application so that Lexicon Intrinsic ismoved off the foliage, through the thatch and into the root zone. Original plan was to have 2-4 greens spilt for comparison of treated and non-treatedsprigs. Due to weather conditions that was abandon –all greens had pre-treated sprigs.

The Key Take-Away to What Has Been Seen Grow-in on time; every course reported successful renovations, greater speed to coverage Labor savings – Lexicon Intrinsic treatment resulted in denser greens, less holesOn average, 35 plugs needed for each non pre-treated side of greens Sprigs come that look better- more hydrated, root quicker: the result is reported better overall healthy turfgrass The pre-treatment at sod farm resulted in less call back to farm- an Insurance policy for bothgrower and superintendent

European Chafer, Asiatic Garden Beetle, Oriental Beetle, Black Turfgrass Ataenius) There are 8 different white grubs that are commonly known to cause turfgrass plant damage. They include the Japanese beetle, May and June beetle, masked chafer, green June beetle, European chafer, Asiatic garden beetle, oriental beetle, and black turfgrass ataenius.
CLIPPINGS 8.1 ABSTRACT Decomposition and N release patterns of turfgrass clippings from residential lawns are not well understood. First-cut clippings of a cool-season turfgrass were placed in litter bags (20 by 20 em) and inserted into the thatch layer of 2 x 2 m experimental field plots (l0 per plot). The experiment was arranged as a 2 x 4 .

Enhanced Heat Dissipation. The trans-pirational cooling capabilities of turfs have a significant cooling impact on the micro-environment. Urban areas tend to be 10 to 12 F warmer than adjacent rural areas. Thus, the higher the percentage of turfgrass areas in urban communities relative to imperme able su
The “Agile Software Development Manifesto” was developed in February 2001, by representatives from many of the fledgling “agile” processes such as Scrum, DSDM, and XP. The manifesto is a set of 4 values and 12 principles that describe “What is meant by Agile". THE AGILE VALUES 1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools 2.
