Fall of 2021 created significant issues with fall armyworms. Since that event, Dr. Raymond Cloyd has updated information on biology and control of this insect. It does not overwinter in Kansas, so it’s presence is dependent upon movement of moths from the south to our region. See the details here:
This new blog video gives an update on a research project, a turf-related issue, or current concerns in the turf industry. Each one will be approximately 2 minutes long – you’ll see one periodically!
After 21 years at K-State, Dr. Dale Bremer will retire from his position in June, 2022. Dale has been an incredible contributor to research and teaching at K-State. Dale found his research niche in a few important areas: water conservation; spectral analysis of turf canopies; and nitrous oxide emissions from turf swards. He received significant grant funding over the years, advised numerous undergraduate and graduate students, and published over 70 scientific research articles and at least 250 other publications including Agricultural Experiment Station Publications, professional abstracts, and trade journal articles.
