Dear WCTA Members,
We are proud to announce a turfgrass specific educational field tour this summer 2014. The tour will take place in the grass seed capital of the world, Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where the majority of the world’s cool season turf-grasses are grown. Professional turfgrass experts will be in attendance such as Leah Brilman, PhD from Seed Research among others, who will present on the next generation of turfgrasses and topics such as soil fertility and plant health. A significant incentive to attend this trip is that six Continuing Education Credits (CECs) will be available.
Soil Science Seminar with David L. Doherty, ISTRC
A Focus on Physical Properties and How they Affect the Performance of Your Sports Field
Join us for a seminar on the physical properties of rootzone and how they affect the performance of your installation. This seminar will examine the concepts of physical properties of sand and soil that are applicable to sports field rootzones. Attendees will learn how the interaction of air and water works within the soil to support healthy turf. We will cover the scientific basis of factors affecting rootzone performance as well as provide practical advice on how to make your installation successful.
