Wichita Falls– In addition to their regular care, turf fields will need special attention to fully recuperate from last year’s drought. A seminar that covers those special needs plus turf grass varieties, insects, weeds and best management practices will be held on Wednesday, April 4 at the Multi Purpose Events Center in Wichita Falls. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. and the program will begin promptly at 9 a.m. The fee is $30 and the deadline to register is 5 p.m. on Monday, April 2.
Dr. James McAfee, Associate Professor and Extension Turfgrass Specialist will present the program. Dr. McAfee develops educational material and programs to help home owners, golf course superintendents, sports field managers and all other turfgrass managers produce quality turf. His main emphasis is to develop turf management programs that require fewer inputs of fertilizer, pesticides and water; evaluate new turfgrass varieties for use in home lawns, golf courses and sports fields.
There will be three continuing education units offered with this program for licensed Texas private and commercial pesticide applicators.
Texas Agrilife Extension Service agent in Wichita County Fred M. Hall noted that “school and golf course managers as well as commercial lawn service operators will find this program is geared especially for them– lots of good science and practical application”.
