There is no doubt that last winter was a shocker, with England enduring the wettest eighteen months since 1836. In our cover story, industry expert Mark Hunt delves into what was behind winter’s weather patterns, crunches some numbers to see why it caused so much of an issue for turfgrass managers, and looks at the reasons behind this (page 8). We know that with wet weather comes an increased risk of turf disease and, in an article on page 36, Dr. Jonathan Knowles (Head of Sports Turf Academy at Leicester City Football Club) offers clear and practical insights on turfgrass diseases.
