Florida, Wisconsin research projects to shed light on nematode, dollar spot management Superintendents across the country will benefit from the latest round of research projects funded by the GCSAA at two major research universities. The latest projects to receive funding for this year are: "Nematode resistance management on golf course turf" by Billy Crow, Ph.D. at the University of Florida "Integrating alternative strategies to improve the sustainable management of dollar spot" by Paul Koch, Ph.D., of the University of Wisconsin The Wisconsin project also is supported by the Wisconsin GCSA. "In this particular project, we're looking to advance precision management of dollar spot that will allow us to pinpoint when and where fungicides can be the most effective," said Koch (right). "This will result in improved disease control and decreased costs for the superintendent." The University of Florida study is a continuation of an ongoing project. The latest round of support will fund the final three years of the six-year nematicide study. The project assesses a panel of nematicides with the goal of giving turf managers rotational options to manage against resistance. "The SDHI nematicides fluopyram (Indemnify) and cyclobutrifluram (Trefinti) are the most effective turfgrass nematicides currently available," Crow said. "However, the discovery of resistance to SDHI nematicides in turfgrass nematodes following prolonged use has made it clear that SDHI nematicides should be rotated with nematicides from other classes for resistance management." A project at the University of Wisconsin has the goal of pinpointing where and when to apply fungicide for optimal control of dollar spot. University of Wisconsin photo Dr. Crow's lab in Gainesville is a global leader in nematode research. "This first-of-its-kind experiment is a six-year project evaluating 10 different nematicide rotations of SDHI nematicides (Nematicide Resistance Group N-3) with nematicides from other Nematicide Resistance Groups," said Crow (below right). "There are two field trials, one targeting the grass root-knot nematode and the other targeting sting nematode. We are comparing the nematicide rotation programs for efficacy against the target nematodes, turfgrass health, development of nematicide resistance, and impacts on nematode community structure as an indicator of soil health." The projects were selected by a committee that included two members of the GCSAA board of directors, superintendents, university researchers and other professional scientists. Each project will receive up to $100,000 from a GCSAA Foundation block grant. "The costs of conducting turfgrass research costs are rising, but many funding opportunities are decreasing because of cuts at the federal level," Koch said. "That's why the funding provided by the GCSAA and the WGCSA is so critical to advancing research that directly benefits golf course superintendents. In this particular project, we're looking to advance precision management of dollar spot that will allow us to pinpoint when and where fungicides can be the most effective. This will result in improved disease control and decreased costs for the superintendent. With the 2026 funding, GCSAA funding is supporting nine ongoing university research projects, that total $582,807 in funding for applied turfgrass research.

Audubon's Monarch program grows by more 100 courses in 2025 Thanks to a grant by the FairWays Foundation, more than 100 golf courses nationwide joined Audubon International's Monarchs in the Rough program in 2025. A total of 127 golf courses joined the program last year, bringing the total number of golf courses in the U.S. and Canada that are participating in the program to almost 1,000. Those courses currently are managing more than 1,300 total acres of out-of-play areas as pollinator-friendly habitat. Monarchs in the Rough was started in 2018 by Audubon International and the Environmental Defense Fund, to help golf courses across North America create pollinator habitats in out-of-play areas to help boost declining populations. The USGA also became involved in the program in 2019. "Golf courses continue their positive contribution to the habitat needed," Audubon International CEO Christine Kane said in a news release. "Monarchs in the Rough is an effective and powerful way for courses of all kinds to take part in increasing new habitat for these iconic and beautiful creatures. We're thrilled so many courses signed on in 2025, and we look forward to adding many more this year and well into the future." Nearly 1,000 golf courses in the U.S. and Canada are participating in the Monarchs in the Rough program since it was launched in 2018. Monarchs in the Rough photo Every course received a shipment of regionally appropriate milkweed seed and signage promoting the program, technical guidance and tips about how to communicate the program to members and golfers. Tim McCann, director of greens and grounds maintenance at Harbour Ridge Golf and Yacht Club in Palm City, Florida, says he converted an acre from a former tee box location that had been moved. "We've filled one of our beds with a lot of milkweed," McCann said. "It was an old tee that was moved to another location." Established in 2019 by former Aquatrols president and CEO Matt Foster, the FairWays Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing conservation and environmental stewardship. By providing grants to both small and large-scale projects, the foundation addresses environmental challenges and supports educational initiatives worldwide. Since its founding, the foundation has donated more than $1 million to more than 60 recipients.

Florida, Wisconsin research projects to shed light on nematode, dollar spot management Superintendents across the country will benefit from the latest round of research projects funded by the GCSAA at two major research universities. The latest projects to receive funding for this year are: "Nematode resistance management on golf course turf" by Billy Crow, Ph.D. at the University of Florida "Integrating alternative strategies to improve the sustainable management of dollar spot" by Paul Koch, Ph.D., of the University of Wisconsin The Wisconsin project also is supported by the Wisconsin GCSA. "In this particular project, we're looking to advance precision management of dollar spot that will allow us to pinpoint when and where fungicides can be the most effective," said Koch (right). "This will result in improved disease control and decreased costs for the superintendent." The University of Florida study is a continuation of an ongoing project. The latest round of support will fund the final three years of the six-year nematicide study. The project assesses a panel of nematicides with the goal of giving turf managers rotational options to manage against resistance. "The SDHI nematicides fluopyram (Indemnify) and cyclobutrifluram (Trefinti) are the most effective turfgrass nematicides currently available," Crow said. "However, the discovery of resistance to SDHI nematicides in turfgrass nematodes following prolonged use has made it clear that SDHI nematicides should be rotated with nematicides from other classes for resistance management." A project at the University of Wisconsin has the goal of pinpointing where and when to apply fungicide for optimal control of dollar spot. University of Wisconsin photo Dr. Crow's lab in Gainesville is a global leader in nematode research. "This first-of-its-kind experiment is a six-year project evaluating 10 different nematicide rotations of SDHI nematicides (Nematicide Resistance Group N-3) with nematicides from other Nematicide Resistance Groups," said Crow (below right). "There are two field trials, one targeting the grass root-knot nematode and the other targeting sting nematode. We are comparing the nematicide rotation programs for efficacy against the target nematodes, turfgrass health, development of nematicide resistance, and impacts on nematode community structure as an indicator of soil health." The projects were selected by a committee that included two members of the GCSAA board of directors, superintendents, university researchers and other professional scientists. Each project will receive up to $100,000 from a GCSAA Foundation block grant. "The costs of conducting turfgrass research costs are rising, but many funding opportunities are decreasing because of cuts at the federal level," Koch said. "That's why the funding provided by the GCSAA and the WGCSA is so critical to advancing research that directly benefits golf course superintendents. In this particular project, we're looking to advance precision management of dollar spot that will allow us to pinpoint when and where fungicides can be the most effective. This will result in improved disease control and decreased costs for the superintendent.

Audubon's Monarch program grows by more 100 courses in 2025 Thanks to a grant by the FairWays Foundation, more than 100 golf courses nationwide joined Audubon International's Monarchs in the Rough program in 2025. A total of 127 golf courses joined the program last year, bringing the total number of golf courses in the U.S. and Canada that are participating in the program to almost 1,000. Those courses currently are managing more than 1,300 total acres of out-of-play areas as pollinator-friendly habitat. Monarchs in the Rough was started in 2018 by Audubon International and the Environmental Defense Fund, to help golf courses across North America create pollinator habitats in out-of-play areas to help boost declining populations. The USGA also became involved in the program in 2019. "Golf courses continue their positive contribution to the habitat needed," Audubon International CEO Christine Kane said in a news release. "Monarchs in the Rough is an effective and powerful way for courses of all kinds to take part in increasing new habitat for these iconic and beautiful creatures. We're thrilled so many courses signed on in 2025, and we look forward to adding many more this year and well into the future." Nearly 1,000 golf courses in the U.S. and Canada are participating in the Monarchs in the Rough program since it was launched in 2018. Monarchs in the Rough photo Every course received a shipment of regionally appropriate milkweed seed and signage promoting the program, technical guidance and tips about how to communicate the program to members and golfers. Tim McCann, director of greens and grounds maintenance at Harbour Ridge Golf and Yacht Club in Palm City, Florida, says he converted an acre from a former tee box location that had been moved. "We've filled one of our beds with a lot of milkweed," McCann said. "It was an old tee that was moved to another location." Established in 2019 by former Aquatrols president and CEO Matt Foster, the FairWays Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing conservation and environmental stewardship. By providing grants to both small and large-scale projects, the foundation addresses environmental challenges and supports educational initiatives worldwide. Since its founding, the foundation has donated more than $1 million to more than 60 recipients.
