Turfgrass Disease Management

In this two-day program, instructor Kurt Frede uses a complete “tear down” and rebuild of a 4-cycle Kohler engine to demonstrate maintenance and repair of small engines. You will walk away with these skills: knowing why and how to adjust the governor, making carburetor adjustments, selecting the best oil and gas types for the season and your equipment, and understanding and avoiding common problems like vapor lock.

In this popular hands-on, half-day course, Bruce Crawford will show you how to properly prune your landscape plants while preserving their natural vigor and beauty. Pruning shears will be available, but we recommend you bring your own equipment (if you have it), including hand pruning shears, lopping shears and a small pruning saw. Please dress for fieldwork.

Reduced Pesticide Inputs and Organic Options for Sports Turf

AT0502CB11 March 3, 2011 8:00am - 12:00pm $175 before February 17, 2011; $195 after

Turf managers are increasingly being asked to reduce or even eliminate synthetic fertilizers and pesticides applied to natural turfgrass areas. When faced with the prospect of reducing traditional inputs and maintaining acceptable turf quality, managers know that ‘going green’ is easier said than done.

Topics for discussion will include organic sports field management, soil management and turfgrass selection in an organic program, low-impact pesticide options, and lessons from specific sites including Central Park, New York City.
