What is ahead for the remainder of winter and what can you expect moving into spring and summer?
2026-02-18 21:00 UTC
In this webinar presented by LebanonTurf, Herb Stevens and Garrett Bastardi of Flash Agronomy discuss what is in store for the remainder of winter and what turf managers across the nation can expect moving into spring and summer.

For much of the country, winter got off to a very mild start. But that was abruptly interrupted by extreme cold, copious amounts of snow and crippling ice storms that affected about half the country.

After the groundhog said six more weeks of winter, unseasonably mild conditions have since dominated midwinter conditions.

Annual bluegrass weevil update and methods for control
2026-03-19 17:00 UTC
Annual bluegrass weevil is a pest found primarily in low mowed annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass, where it feeds on the roots and crowns of the plant. Given its preferred food source, golf course turf.

Since it was first discovered nearly 70 years ago in New York, ABW is now found in more than 20 states including parts of the upper South. In this TurfNet University webinar presented by LebanonTurf, Kenneth Clayton of the University of Kentucky will discuss the history of ABW, conditions under which it thrives and why it is on the move.

The presentation also will include tips on controlling this rapidly spreading pest.

Getting the jump on weed control
2026-03-26 17:00 UTC
The summer of 2025 made weed control a challenge in many parts of the country. The summer started with record rainfall in many areas followed by hot arid conditions late in the season, providing optimal conditions for a host of weed species.

In this TurfNet University webinar presented by LebanonTurf, David Gardner, Ph.D., will discuss spring weed-control primarily in cool-season turfgrass on golf courses.

This presentation will cover a refresher on common spring weeds, research updates and advice on timing for pre-emergent herbicide applications and tips on weed-specific programs and chemistries based on the latest research. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER >>>

Be your own environmental champion
2026-04-15 17:00 UTC
In this TurfNet University webinar presented by LebanonTurf, Jim Pavonetti, CGCS at Fairview Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, will discuss how superintendents can advocate for their own environmental stewardship efforts.

Pavonetti is a multiple winner of the GCSAA Environmental Leaders in Golf award and in February was the recipient of the GCSAA President’s Award for Environmental Stewardship. In 2024, Pavonetti was named to the Audubon International board of directors and served on the Greenwich Sustainability Committee that implements sustainable environmental policies and practices to make the city a “vibrant, resilient, safe and sustainable town.”

An accomplished photographer who actively shares images that represent his work and that of his team, will discuss how telling your own story of stewardship promotes positive public relations within the club and the community.

Future of fertilizer: Nanoparticles as an ultra-efficient delivery system
2026-04-23 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Halifax)
In this TurfNet University webinar sponsored by LebanonTurf, John Dempsey, Ph.D., will explore how nanoparticle-based fertilizers are reshaping turfgrass nutrition, performance and sustainability.
He will discuss how nano-formulated NPK and nanosilica differ from traditional fertilizers in their physical and chemical behaviour—such as targeted delivery, controlled release, and improved compatibility—and why that matters for turf growth, color, stress tolerance, and overall plant health.

Surprising surfactants! Key insights from six years of turfgrass research
2026-07-16 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Halifax)
In this TurfNet University webinar sponsored by LebanonTurf, John Dempsey, Ph.D., will unpack the real value of surfactants, wetting agents, and penetrants in modern turf management. Moving beyond their reputation as simple water movers, this session examines what these products do in the rootzone—and whether they truly deliver a worthwhile return on investment.
