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
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 >>>

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.
