2022 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 and students and vendors from across the state gathered on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, 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 an provide insight into trends within the industry. Topics discussed included:
• INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• CULTURAL PRACTICES
• IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGIES
• AQUATIC WEED MANAGEMENT
• MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT in the LANDSCAPE
• 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 $5.00. This included a delicious lunch from Parkers BBQ in Greenville, NC! TCNC Members saved $65.00.
Additionally, attendees were able to obtain CEUs towards their NCDA & CS Pesticide Credits: A, B, D, L, N and X, as well as GCSAA Educational Points.
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!
“Attending Field Day was a great opportunity to learn about the industry and meet people. It opened our eyes as to just how much opportunity there is and how much there is to learn.”
