re: Who has an LA applicator’s license?

bayoubengals….
Taking a Quick Look at that link, that appears to be a lot of the info in the general standards part of the test. I can’t recall if the study guide that the LSU Ag Center has is more specific to LA or if it’s pretty much that guide…but regardless, the principles are the same. And ...

I don’t think you necessarily have to prior experience under a qualified licensee. It may help as often times having some “on-the-job” training can go a long way in helping remember what labels mean, application methods and as to when/why certain pesticides should be applied or not.
The State of...

I promise you this isn’t meant to be sarcastic, and if comes across that way, I apologize….but there is a “general standards” section of the test and then a second part of the test in which you pick the “category” (Ag Pest Control, Forest Pest Control, Turf and Ornamental, Right-of-Way, etc) in orde...
re: Ronk or Crawdude fertilizer recommendations
Posted by tigermaniac on 3/16/24 at 11:19 pm
Well that makes more sense if you’ll be spraying other things….didnt know that by the question that was presented in your first post.
If you’re spraying a PGR, what height are you cutting it at and what kind of mower?
I use plenty of stabilized urea products at the golf courses I manage. We...
re: Ronk or Crawdude fertilizer recommendations
Posted by tigermaniac on 3/16/24 at 5:57 pm
Just curious…why are you going to spray it? It’s soluble enough that it can be spread and then watered in. Would pretty much do the same thing and would be a lot less work. Either way, you’re going to get a quick green up/growth response, have to mow a bunch, and then do it again in a few weeks. ...

My in-laws live just south of Starkville. Just about every time we go visit, we make our plans around when Sonny’s Smokehouse in Ackerman is open. They’re only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but I would suggest going there for dinner if you have a chance.
It’s cash only (well, they tak...

Went with the fam the second week of October. Had a fantastic road trip from Northwest LA. Having been to Death Valley a couple of years ago, I wasn’t sure how it would measure up…however…as a National Park, I found it fascinating. It really is quite diverse in its landscapes and ecology and the ...

I didn’t say it was…I said “you MAY have a patch of zoysia.”
As a turf manager, when somebody shows me a picture of a weed or pest problem, I will suggest that it “may” be one thing or another, with the caveat that, until I actuall...
re: Grass Identification - Paging Craw
Posted by tigermaniac on 11/3/23 at 3:59 pm
I’m not trying to ruffle feathers, but if this describes what’s in your lawn, then by all means, waste your time, money and effort in treating it. Otherwise, pick a sample (preferably with roots, stolons/rhizomes, a seed head if one is available), put it in a ziploc with a wet paper towel and take ...

re: Grass Identification - Paging Craw
Posted by tigermaniac on 11/2/23 at 7:44 pm
I’ve looked at these photos several times over several days. It’s sometimes hard to identify a “type of grass” simply from a top down visual because there are lots of grasses that can start to look similar in close proximity to one another. Without seeing an individual plant and looking at the leaf ...
re: Laid sod in June
Posted by tigermaniac on 9/24/23 at 6:53 pm
I hate to hear about your situation. As a turf manager, nothing irks me more than paying good money for sod and it not live.
Some questions for you:
A) location?
B) did you have any soil tests done prior to laying the sod? Centipede tends to prefer a slightly more acidic soil than most ot...
re: LSU Soil test results came in. What to add before laying sod?
Posted by tigermaniac on 9/9/23 at 6:21 pm
Don’t over think it. Get a bag (or however much you need to cover your area) of something like a 18-24-12 and put it out accordingly. At 1 lb/P per 1000 sq ft, you would need to put down 4.2 lbs of product per thousand square feet. A 50 lb bag would cover about 12,000 sq ft. All of the other numb...
re: Neighbors unchecked Bahia infiltrating my lawn….
Posted by tigermaniac on 6/13/23 at 6:46 pm
Are you sure it’s Bahia? I’ve sprayed plenty of Bahia on the golf course with metsulfuron (msm) and it smokes it every time.
You could put down a preemergent to help with seed germination.
Also, make sure to use a surfactant if you’re using MSM Turf to target Bahia or any other weeds listed...
re: Better grass for high foot traffic area?
Posted by tigermaniac on 3/15/23 at 5:25 pm
Without knowing specifics of your situation (soil type, shade issues?, level of maintenance planned, irrigation, etc.) some type of bermudgrass would definitely be the way to go. Of all of the warm season grasses, bermuda is the most wear tolerant of them all.
The question of which of the two de...
