Turf managers spend a lot of time out of the office. Mobile phones with email, internet, and application programs help turf managers communicate and access information. Advanced “smart” phones (Blackberry, iPhone, etc.) allow greater work flexibility while away from the office or in the field.
Downloadable applications are relatively new features for mobile devices. Applications are programs compatible with phones that provide quick and easy access to information.
Several UGA faculty members have created the first mobile program specifically for turf information. “Turfgrass Management”, is a comprehensive program that contains pictures, information, and recommendations for managing turf weeds, diseases, and insects. The application is designed to be user-friendly and easy to search on mobile devices.
Calibrating Your Spreader
Application of the correct amount of fertilizer and pesticide to a lawn is important! Too much fertilizer may burn the grass. Too little herbicide gives ineffective weed control.
There are many brands of lawn spreaders. Each spreader has its own method for setting the rate of application.
