Thanks Dr. Woods.
Patience is a virtue but hard to come by.

Curious minds want to know. 🐛
Lab Update: The Turf Pest Lab will be closed September 12-16th. We will reopen for samples on Monday, September 19th. Turfpestlab.psu.edu
Nice disease pressure for GLS in tall fescue at @PureSeed_RPMS!! Near 100% disease in this plot. T-methyl still holding up here but it’s on a 14 day interval. Worst case scenario
This week’s major issues…summer patch still raging, algae and algae leading to yellow spot, and brown patch. Waiting for gray leaf spot to hit. #turfdisease
Heads up everyone. 😳 🥵
Check out this somewhat rare stubby root nematode Trichodorus obtusus. Both this and Paratrichodorus minor possess a unique onchiostylet useful in ID. #Nematuesday
Ooph
Seeing lots of summer patch in the diagnostic lab and in the field. Shaping up to be the worst summer patch season in last 20 years. Best control option at this stage would be thiophanate-methyl.
Happy #friskyfairyringfriday. Enjoy the weekend.

@TurfEnto @PSUTurfPests I'm pretty sure I had a small colony of these living under a wet piece of drift wood that sat on a green grinder pump cover at my home in Duluth. I recall thinking to myself that I've never seen an ant that looked like this.
Lots of calls this week asking what these things burrowing into greens are. Queen turfgrass ants seem to popping off everywhere from the Midwest to New England. I wouldn’t recommend attempting control now, but take note of locations for spring @PSUTurfPests

@ericshilling Looks like a cutworm based on spots and pattern (circles) and pale stripe running along top side. Yellow-green appearance is strange though. Could be nematode infected
