This morning we had a class on turfgrass insects. We discussed "white grubs". White grubs are the larvae of several different species of beetles. The grubs are a creamy white color with a brown head. They can be identified by a raster pattern, which is the different patterns of hairs on their butt. They also have different shaped butt cracks.
We then had our class presentations about our summer experiences. I do not have to give mine until March 8th, so I have been enjoying listening to the other members of our class.
We ended the day with a quiz in turfgrass establishment. The quiz covered seeding rates, starter fertilizers, fertilizer costs, and seeding practices. The quiz was not too difficult, I think I got 34/35 points.
