Many turfgrass professionals probably haven’t experienced a
winter similar to the winter of 2015 - 16 before. Severe rains to the heavy snow on unfrozen
ground and then, back to the rain to end 2015, were all uncommon events to kick
off our winter. To top it off, we have had a couple of severe cold snaps, which
will provide more questions as spring approaches.
Many golf course superintendents reapplied their snow mold
application on greens due to all the rain we experienced. Another underlying factor from all the
rain and warm weather could be a nutrient deficiency come spring. Crown
hydration and ice could be another hurdle to jump as well. All these factors could provide us with
many questions that, of course, can’t be answered until spring arrives.
Until then, ProGro can provide you some
consolation with spring fertilizer and chemical programs, ice melting products (The AndersonsHumic DG and Black Gypsum DG) and, dare I say, seed options, if necessary.
