About this episode

Travis Shaddox interviews Dr. Scott McElroy about weed control in turfgrass, focusing on herbicide and insecticide interactions.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Scott McElroy (Auburn University) about weed control in turfgrass, including best practices for herbicide timing, resistance management, and how herbicides interact with insecticides. We also discuss common mistakes, application strategies, and where to find reliable, evidence-based recommendations. If you manage turf, this conversation will help you improve your weed identification, herbicide programs, and integrated pest management (IPM) decisions. #turfgrass #weedcontrol #herbicides #IPM #golfcoursemanagement #turfgrassscience #agronomy 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting evidence-based turfgrass science.
