In the latest InSight feature Glenn Kirby looks at issues of early season moisture management and how to avoid getting caught out by rapid dry down

New turf research has shown how an imbalance of amino acids at key times can compromise turf plant function. It has also demonstrated why supplementing specific key amino acids through the season ensures plants are better placed to cope with stresses, whenever they occur.

Ongoing results from a six-month trial at STRI have shown how science behind stress mitigation solutions can combine to make a significant difference for turf quality

One of the hot topics for consideration with climate change is the implication for leatherjackets and other turf pests. Glenn Kirby reviews how Pest Tracker could help build a picture of the issues and how to redress them.

Climatic conditions, coupled with the artificial impacts imposed by management regimes for better playing surfaces, puts turf plants under almost continuous stress. In summer, protracted hot and dry weather risks tipping the balance over the edge. Glenn Kirby explains the science behind better management to counter the threat.
