In Episode #51 the TurPh.Dudes are joined by Dr. Patrick McCullough, University of Georgia. In the near future, the turfgrass industry expects the use of an important active ingredient, oxadiazon (Restricted Use Pesticide), to be significantly limited by an EPA decision following the oxadiazon reregistration review process. Dr. McCullough’s years of experience in herbicide research and agronomic consulting provide great insights into alternative options and management strategies that are available to fill the gap left by oxadiazon.
