Title: "Disease Consequences of Low Maintenance Turf” with Rich Buckley, Director, Plant Diagnostic Laboratory, Rutgers NJAES and Matt Elmore, Ph.D., Associate
Extension Specialist in Weed Science - Turfgrass, Landscapes, Pastures
and Forages, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Department of Plant Biology Speaker Bio: Richard Buckley
- Richard Buckley is the Director of the New Jersey Agricultural
Experimental Station Soil Testing and Plant Diagnostic Services at
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. He received his BS in
Entomology and Plant Pathology from the University of Delaware and MS in
Turfgrass Pathology from Rutgers that lead to his current position. In
addition to his responsibilities as Director of the STPDS, Mr. Buckley
is an instructor in the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School
and teaches courses in diseases and insect pests of turf grass and
ornamental plants. He is also a frequent lecturer and invited speaker on
disease and insect pest problems in turf and ornamental, plant problem
solving, and disease and pest management techniques. Matt Elmore
joined the Rutgers faculty on November 1 as the new weed science
extension specialist in turf grass, landscapes, pastures and forages.
Matt earned his B.S. in Turfgrass Science from Penn State University
before moving south and earning an M.S. and PhD. from the University of
Tennessee with a focus in turf grass weed control. Prior to joining
Rutgers, Matt was a Turfgrass Extension Specialist for Texas A&M
AgriLife in Dallas, TX where his research efforts explored new
strategies to control problematic weeds and reduce irrigation inputs in
turf grass. His program at Rutgers will focus on novel strategies to
control weeds with fewer pesticide inputs. The program will also focus
significant efforts to developing alternatives to synthetic pesticides
and understanding the influence of management practices on weed
competitiveness. Talk Description: Part I (Rich Buckley - 30 minutes):
For better or worse, more and more pressure is being felt by plant
managers to use less fuel, water, fertilizer, and pesticides to produce
suitable lawns and landscapes. The trend toward less, however, has some
negative consequences. This 30-minute lecture covers common turf
diseases found on low-input turf stands. Each disease will be profiled
including proper identification, fungal biology, epidemiology, and
control tactics including all cultural, chemical, and biological options
within the context of proper Integrated Pest Management practice and
low input solutions. Part II (Matt Elmore - 30 minutes): We
will also discuss some of the most common weeds. For each weed, we will
discuss identification, life cycles, and how to best integrate
herbicide strategies with cultural management options for control. Live Webinars - Important Please Read **Since these are live webinars, you will have the opportunity to ask questions & during the webinar you will be required to respond to at least one poll question. Failure to respond to the poll question can disqualify you from receiving credits for the webinar. You must provide a photo of yourself holding up a photo ID to be sent right before, during or immediately after the webinar (this must be done for each webinar you register for). Instructions on how to send your photo will be provided in your registration confirmation. **Registration for all webinars MUST be completed no later than one hour before the start time of the webinar – no exceptions.

Steps to Comply with Live Webinar
1. The identity of attendees must be verified using a government-issued photo ID.

2. Have attendees send a picture of themselves with the photo ID at the beginning of class
a. For webinars with less than 20 attendees, we will have attendees show their ID
on video at the beginning of the class. For larger webinars, each attendee that is
requesting pesticide recertification credits will be asked to send (email or text) a
photo of themselves with their photo ID as the class is beginning. This will be
checked during the class.
3. The course coordinator must ensure that attendees who receive credit are present for the entire course.
a. Keep attendees periodically on camera throughout the course
b. Use periodic class participation that requires a response from the attendee, and refuse credit to those who do not respond in a timely manner
c. Zoom provides a report at the conclusion of a webinar on the sign in and sign out time of each attendee. This report can be used to verify who remained on for the entirety of the webinar and, therefore, is eligible to receive credits. The Speaker will be asking questions during the presentation, also. 4. The course coordinator must ensure late comers do not receive credit.
a. Lock entrance to the webinar after it begins
b. Track attendees log-in and log-out times (Zoom will allow us to track attendees log-in and log-out times (report mentioned above).
