Monthly Meeting & Education

Education Sponsored by:

Topic: Weed Control
By: James T. Brosnan, PhD
The University of Tennessee​

Title: “What is Dead May Never Die….?"

Description: Weeds are a continual problem on golf courses. Species such as annual bluegrass, goosegrass, and sedge/kyllinga species are seemingly harder to control than ever before. This presentation will review the latest research on managing these species using integrated techniques.

​Dr. Brosnan is a Professor in the Plant Sciences Department at the University of Tennessee (UT) and Director of the UT Weed Diagnostics Center. His research focuses on controlling unique and problematic turfgrass weeds, particularly phenotypes with resistance to herbicides. His extension programs aim to provide education and diagnostic support to Tennessee’s $5.8 billion turfgrass industry.      Dr. Brosnan serves as an advisor to the Tennessee Turfgrass Association Board of Directors, and he is actively involved in the Weed Science Society of America, Southern Weed Science Society, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, and Sports Turf Managers Association. He has consulted at multiple venues on the PGA Tour (including several major championship host sites) in addition to National Football League franchises. Dr. Brosnan received a B.S. in turfgrass science from Penn State University, an M.S. in plant, soil and insect sciences (turfgrass) from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a Ph.D. in agronomy (turfgrass) from Penn State University.
