The first NC1208-led project titled ‘Efficacy of integrated cultural practices for dollar spot disease management on creeping bentgrass and bermudagrass’ was published in the International Turfgrass Research Journal (https://doi.org/10.1002/its2.188). The team ended the ‘host resistance’ project and will now focus on data analysis and publication in a peer-reviewed journal. We hope this publication will be ready for submission by the end of 2025. In addition, assistant professors Quincy Law (Iowa State) and Tyler Carr (Ohio State) have agreed to lead the publication of the bentgrass survey results.
