The June episode of On the Horizon is in the can and ready to listen to.

Here's what Glenn and Henry are talking about this month.

1. Variable July weather - courses need to prepare for both hot/dry and wet/cool conditions.

2. Golfer expectations are high in July but extremes of weather can pose challenges.

3. Focusing on surface smoothness rather than just green speed to optimize playing qualities. Measuring and recording ball rolls to track improvement over time.

4. Integrated strategies to manage diseases like anthracnose and dollar spot: nutrition, moisture management, PGRs and fungicides timed appropriately. Preventative applications work best.

5. Mitigating heat and moisture stress through quality wetting agents, monitoring soil moisture levels, protecting turf from UV light, and maintaining adequate nutrition.

6. Trial data showing Hicure can reduce anthracnose pressure by 50%. Regular nitrogen applications are also important for disease control. FR321 is effective for anthracnose control.

7. Developing an "agronomic gameplan" to identify and mitigate key risks to keep focus on preventative measures.

8. Using the Smith Kerns model to assess potential dollar spot pressure based on climate data.

9. Details on Chafer monitoring.

10. The loss of Heritage Maxx formulation but retaining Heritage WDG.

11. The importance of involving and educating less experienced staff in spray operations to develop their knowledge and skills.
