@TurfEnto Congratulations Stokes! 🍾

@turfgrasskass Soaring with eagles, not quacking like ducks. 🫶

2 years ago I embarked on a great journey in the entomology lab (aka Weevil World) under @TURFnBUGS watchful eye. So excited to see the fruits of that journey finally. Congratulations again, Audrey!

@campbellturf @TurfEnto @turfgrasskass Oh no! Here is a link directly to the article. Darn DOI :/ acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@TURFnBUGS @TurfEnto @turfgrasskass Link isn’t working

New publication dropped! Thank you to @turfgrasskass for your technical assistance and to @TurfEnto for your continued support and mentorship. doi.org/10.1002/csc2.2…

@vermivormax @turfgrasskass @TurfEnto Thank you, that’s the greatest compliment I could have received! Hope the students get a kick out of it too.

Plenty of white grubs and big ol’ cutworms in the Happy Valley! #landshirmp

@WisconsinBugGuy Personally I am torn between the mayfly and dragonfly, though they are all ento statement pieces.

@plkoch2 @kurtaculous Congratulations Paul! Welcome to the club

Finally won my own lab’s minigolf outing after a mere 10 years. Extremely grateful to ⁦@kurtaculous⁩ and the ‘hardest working research team in turf’ for another great summer of conducting cutting edge research. And better luck to all of them in next year’s outing…

New Cat 7 manual dropped, still has that new knowledge smell!

@plkoch2 @TurfEnto

Two additional cases of annual bluegrass weevil have now been confirmed in central WI by @TurfEnto. Both courses are near the original ABW ID from 2020. Other courses in this area should begin scouting for ABW. For more information visit: tdl.wisc.edu/annual-bluegra…

Publishing in 1971, what a time. 🪱🍎

@TheTerriBee ‘We Are’ looking! Will report when we see them :)

Testing out a new, self-reporting Fall Armyworm Map – (ncturfbugs.wordpress.ncsu.edu/interactive-fa…). Please use the current date as the "Entry Name" so that we can track populations over time. Thank you to those who have already added pins!

@djsoldat @badgerbean @plkoch2 Let a girly know if a Turf Ento position opens up! Maybe after weeds…? 🙃

Attention turfgrass weed scientists, this is a great opportunity to join our turf team! Please consider applying and reach out to me or @badgerbean with any questions. @plkoch2

🚨Fall armyworms are no joke, y'all. Hitting NC hard and fast after Debby. Keep an eye out for egg masses, caterpillars and be sure to soap flush. Pyrethroids for immediate control, diamides for long-term.

This year's version of fall armyworm invasions is well underway.

The UW Turfgrass Summer Field Day is August 6th! Come join @djsoldat @kurtaculous @dwmarach and others from the UW Turf Team to see our latest research, chat with others about all the damn rain, and eat some brats.
