[Uaturfinfo] Desert Divots

[Umeda, Kai - (umedak)]

*** Today, December 1, is the last day to register for the annual Desert Turf School to be held January 9 -13, 2017 in Phoenix.  http://turf.arizona.edu
*** NOW is the time during the season of giving to make a lasting gift to sustain and improve our University of Arizona Turfgrass Extension and Research program. Golfers, sports enthusiasts – players and fans, homeowners and landscapers wanting great turfgrass can contribute to make the grass greener.  Learn and share about the Campaign at: http://www.uafoundation.org/NetCommunity/arizona-now
 *** The last chances to obtain continuing education units (CEU) for pesticide applicator license (PUP, PUC, or PUG) renewal are listed at  http://searchagriculture.az.gov/esd/ceucourse.aspx
 *** A Tree Health Care Workshop will be next Thursday morning, December 8 in Tucson. For details and registration, go to: https://cals.arizona.edu/spls/content/tree-health-care-workshop
 *** If grubs have become an issue in turfgrasses, its time to order a blacklight trap to monitor the spring beetle flights.  (http://turf.arizona.edu/insectsurvey.htm )   Knowing the timing of eggs hatching can make timing of insecticide applications more effective in the early summer.
