The @USGA named Rodney Lingle, CGCS, as the 2025 Green Section Award winner. Read more about Lingle's career below! 👇 (Photo: USGA/Ian Culley)

A great article that serves as a reminder about the importance of rotating pesticide modes of action to slow the development of pest resistance.
Kudos to Osburn et al. @AndrewOsburn20 for the publication on group 3 resistance survey in Poa annua in the South. Great collaboration with @jbunruh's team. Co-advised by Becky @TNTurfWoman, part of our @ResistPoa project. @USDA_NIFA @txresearch @TAMUWeedNinjas
