Influence of Common Turfgrass Weeds on Field Playability and Player Safety Learn more Influence of Common Turfgrass Weeds on Field Playability and Player Safety Speaker(s): Erick Begitschke Session Description: Common turfgrass weeds can have a drastic impact on the playability and functionality of sports fields. Not only do they reduce the aesthetic qualities of the sports field, but they also can affect footing and surface hardness of the playing surface. Thus, weeds can have a direct relationship with non-contact injuries of athletes. Attendees will learn: - There are new technical devices being developed to evaluate the relationship between the playing surface and athletes. - Weeds can have a direct impact on player safety. - How to develop cost-effective means of making fields safer for athletes.

Native Weed Species as Pollinator Habitat Learn more Native Weed Species as Pollinator Habitat Speaker(s): Chih Julie Wang Session Description: Pollinators provide key ecosystem functions. As urban landscapes expand, there is increasing interest in enhancing the capacity of turfgrass ecosystems to support the biodiversity of native pollinators. However, little is known about weeds that proliferate in turfgrass and their contribution to pollinator forage. This presentation will examine common weeds in the southeastern U.S. and how they support pollinators. After attending this session, participants will: - Understand the role of pollinators in turfgrass ecosystems. - Know the different weed species that contribute to pollinator forage. - Learn to manage turfgrass ecosystems to create a pollinator friendly environment.
