MSMA UPDATED NEWS
OVERVIEW: MSMA continues to undergo examination and/or changes in its current label structure. Recently, EPA has delayed implementation of the use deadline for Group II ( TURF uses below ) pending the outcome of the IRIS assessment and other testing. The MSMA Task Force (OAPTF) is fully engaged with EPA in seeking to extend the label uses for MSMA beyond the present. Below is a brief analysis of the overall situation.
Dismiss Turf Herbicide Sulfentrazone – 6 – 64 Oz
Dismiss Turf Herbicide Sulfentrazone – 6 – 64 Oz use for all grass with visible results on sedges and kyllinga.
What kind of pre-emergent herbicide for my turf grass?
One concern with preemergence herbicide use is timing of application. In a typical year, the earliest germinating crabgrass may be killed by subsequent frosts. However, in order to be effective, the preemergence herbicide must be applied before the first crabgrass that germinates following the last frost. It must also be activated by either rainwater or irrigation after application. Typically, they are applied two to three weeks earlier, when an indicator plant, such as Forsythia in the northern United States or dogwoods in South, bloom.
About Soil PH
Soil pH refers to the degree of acidity (sourness) or alkalinity (sweetness) of soil.  The pH scale has been adapted as the measure of acidity or alkalinity. This scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Numbers below 7 are acid, above 7 are alkaline. All plants have a particular range of pH in which they grow best. At pH values higher than are optimum for a particular plant, fertilizer in the soil can not be properly utilized. High pH is very common in Florida soils, particularly along coastal areas. This problem shows most often in “acid loving” plants such as Azaleas, Camellias, Gardenias, Holy, Ixora, Magnolia and certain grasses such as Bahia. High pH usually shows as yellowing of foliage or an iron deficiency.
Termite Biology which we should know
Termites occur in every state of the United States and parts of Canada. To date, they have not been reported in Alaska. They cause varying degrees of trouble, depending upon the geographical
location. The presence and abundance of termites in an area is determined by several factors including temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil type. Because subterranean termites rely on soil moisture, they’re affected by soil types. In clay soils, moisture is
How to get rid of Boxelder Bugs
First, whenever possible exclude boxelder bugs from entering the house by repairing screens and caulking cracks around windows and doors. Bugs that do get in will take up winter residence in wall voids and the attic. They will not cause any structural damage but will become a nuisance throughout the winter. If you are unable to seal exterior cracks you may need to treat wall voids and the attic with insecticidal dust or aerosol.
What is this? – Fungus Indentity
All plants are subject to disease. Under proper environmental conditions a disease will occur when a susceptible plant is invaded by a causal agent (pathogen). Plant pathologists are principally concerned with disease caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
