Great advice from @bloom_golf in @GCImagazine that applies to all segments of green industry. In particular I noted this statement: "You can’t be the long-term leader if you’re always the short-term hero." golfcourseindustry.com/news/remodel-y…

Last week myself and the @VTTurfPath Lab installed 90 @spiio_official in-ground soil moisture sensors across fairway #15 at @IndependenceGC. The sensors will be used to evaluate the optimal sensor quantity and distribution for soil moisture mapping on golf course fairways, as well as a variety of studies on winter desiccation, compaction, timing of covers, etc. Huge shoutout to @TravisLRoberson and @Syngenta for generously working to get these sensors donated for this project! And to my incredible colleagues at Virginia Tech for working through the dark and the pouring rain to get everything done. I am SO grateful to have such a remarkable team to work alongside me and support my graduate research!! Looking forward to data analysis and sharing the results from this exciting project!

Use soil data to your advantage! 🌱 With tools like GreenCast Connect + #Spiio soil sensors, you can receive real-time insights to help you manage turf quality and performance. Learn more about these tools from @TravisLRoberson: bit.ly/3H5a3CB #GCConnect

Registration is open and the Monday night Hokie Turf Summit is FREE to all! givebutter.com/V6iMPD Join @VTTurfgrass for two days of turfgrass innovation, community, and research excellence! #VaTurf #KeepingItReal

I’m so thrilled to have won 1st place in the graduate student research competition at the International Turfgrass Research Conference in Japan! It was an absolute privilege to attend this conference and meet so many amazing people from the international turfgrass industry!🤩🤓🌾

Stay ahead of turf diseases this summer! 🛡️ @TravisLRoberson shares how GreenCast Connect helps optimize application timing to prevent diseases like #Anthracnose, #FairyRing and #SummerPatch. More on #GCConnect: bit.ly/45CCnGc

Demo of Ecorobotix prototype machine-vision sprayer at the Independence Golf Course Turfgrass Research Classic and Field Day hosted by Virginia Tech and the Virginia Golf Course Superintendents Association. Our research shows 75 to over 90% reductions in herbicide use with this machine. Enhanced turf safety allows for more aggressive treatments and better weed resistance management. More to come!

Really enjoyed my visit to @RU_Turf_Program to assist with Spiio Soil Sensors for some upcoming chemistry and water use efficiency research. It was a pleasure to work along side Dr. Bingru Huang and her lab and look forward to the progression of this trial work. #spiiodata

Be sure to catch up on our latest episode of Tiger Turf with Doctor @TravisLRoberson of @SyngentaTurf! Awesome episode with my fellow @VTTurfgrass graduate, currently work on digital platforms more specifically the Spiio soil sensors! Game changing Technology with an incredible organization. Excited to be working alongside them here at Brentsville here in the near future! Can't thank you enough Travis! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tig…

It's been a privilege to travel up the East Coast this week and present my research and the latest turfgrass disease management strategies! Grateful for each and every opportunity to engage with the incredible people in the Mid-Atlantic turfgrass industry. ⛳️🌱🥳

Tune in Tuesday, Feb 18 at 2:00PM (EST) for a @FieldExperts post-conference webinar led by Dr. McCall and myself! We will discuss how pests and stressors on athletic fields impact playability, which embodies my master's research! Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Let’s gooooo!!!! Proud of these young men & women - the future of our industry - and some of the kindest souls on plant earth! So very happy for @JulieKessler15 in her final year of competition - she’s a legend at VT and future difference-maker in the @FieldExperts industry!

Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! My family loved their new VT Turfgrass apparel. There's still time to purchase items and help support the turfgrass club before they head to the SFMA and GCSAA conferences! Link is below if interested :) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
