The University Of Connecticut invites you to the 3rd Biennial UCONN Turfgrass Field Day at the Plant Science Research And Education Facility in Storrs, Connecticut

Save The Date, July 17, 2012

The 2012 Turfgrass Field Day at the University of Connecticut offers exciting educational opportunities for turfgrass professionals of all levels.

The date of the Field Day has been selected in order to provide the best opportunity to view the research plots when they are under the greatest summer stress. Cutting edge research in the areas of lawn care, sports and golf turf management will be presented.

Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss ongoing research and management concerns with the UCONN turf team.

Dear CAGCS Members:
 
Golf Courses will be exempt from the phosphorous ban in the Phosphate Bill (SB 254). It is in the final stages of being approved, please view the bill and get back to me with any questions or concerns.

There are two qualifications that will affect phosphorous applications to golf courses, though.

• There are blackout dates when you cannot apply phosphorous, from November 15th to March 15th.
• Secondly phosphorous cannot be applied within 20 feet of a water body ( 15 feet if it is applied with a spreader deflector or a targeted application).
