ZACH REICHER n Bayer Crop Science IPLLA is pleased to welcome back Dr. Zac Reicher for the 30th Annual Summer Field Day.

He will also be discussing how getting the forecast correct 85% of the time is a realist goal. The talk debunks free weather apps and discusses how useless they really are in forecasting weather for your locations. 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B - RT The 36 Views of Sustainable Landscapes JIM CHATFIELD AND JOE BOGGS n OSU Extension The term sustainable is one of those that we hear over and over again in the lawn and landscape world. The term has many meanings! Maintain, support, strengthen, endure, withstand, nourish, or not depleting. How do we practice sustainability in terms of the services we provide and the products we apply? How do we market this facet of what we do for those who are selecting a lawn, landscape or tree service? 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B - RT

6 THE 30TH ANNUAL Summer FIELD DAY THURSDAY August 25, 2016 Hendricks County Conference Center & Fairgrounds SOUTH HALL 9:00 to 10:00 am The Turf Year to Date DR. AARON PATTON n Purdue University Turfgrass Extension Specialist Aaron Patton returns with his annual update on growing conditions so far this year. While we had a relatively mild winter, it will be interesting to see how growing conditions play out moving through summer. The questions are the same, but the answers may be different as we prepare for the fall of 2016 and the year ahead. Aaron brings great perspective to this topic. 1 CCH in Category 3B - RT 10:00 to 11:00 am I Can Spray and Save RANDY ZONDAG n Lake County Ohio Extension Here we will cover the understanding of how sprayers work and why we over-apply pesticides today. We will show what is proper coverage to control pests and help applicators look at the tools they can use, in the field, to access good application quality. Randy will also discuss the use of surfactants and where and why they can help or detract from the application. 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B RT 11:00 to 1:15 pm 1:15 to 2:15 pm The 30th Annual Summer Field Day and World Famous Barbecue Luncheon Stinging Insects DR. TIM GIBB n Purdue University Working outside is a major benefit of our industry. Stinging insects are not a benefit! This talk will focus on the identification and biology of many stinging insects including paper wasps, bees, hornets, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and cicada killers. While their stings always hurt, they can cause more serious health issues such as painful swelling, nausea, anaphylactic shock, and more. Identification, and perhaps control, is very important. 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B - 6-7A - RT 2:15 to 3:15 pm The Liability of Being Underinsured DR. FRED WHITFORD, MR. DAVE SCOTT, MR. CHRIS MOORE One of IPLLA s ongoing concerns is that many commercial applicators operate without proper insurance coverage for the business they run. What is appropriate vehicle coverage? Do you have enough and proper liability insurance? What are the legal requirements of Workers Compensation insurance? How is other equipment insured and what happens when the inevitable accident occurs? 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B A - RT

7 GROUNDS MANAGERS WORKSHOP CLASSROOMS B AND C 9:00 to 10:00 am 10:00 to 11:00 am 11:00 to 1:15 pm 1:15 to 2:15 pm 2:15 to 3:15 pm Turf Disease, Cause, Control, Prevention DR. RICK LATIN AND MR. DAN DUNHAM Last year, one of our members suggested that we offer a presentation on turf disease that would not only discuss identification and cause, but would also discuss specific methods to treat for each disease and measures for prevention of that disease.

PAMELA SHERRATT n Ohio State University This presentation is aimed at those who business includes the overall maintenance of parks and grounds. Cool season grasses can get stressed in Indiana summers, which then leave them vulnerable to pests, diseases and weeds. What sound management practices can be used to maximize the plant health and promote deep turf roots? Proper nutrition, mowing, irrigation, and soil improvement will be discussed. 1 CCH in Category 3B - RT The 30th Annual Summer Field Day and World Famous Barbecue Luncheon The True Tools of Integrated Pest Management RANDY ZONDAG n Lake County Ohio Extension IPM is not a single management tool, but indeed is a combination of many. Identifying the pest, knowing what control method will be needed, looking at proper timing, and application, then following up to make sure what we did actually worked! We will discuss all facets of IPM including cultural, biological, and chemical control, and also what diagnostic tools you can use to help you manage those pests. 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B - RT Use of Plant Growth Regulators DR. PAMELA SHERRATT n Ohio State University This presentation will be directed at sports field managers and discuss the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs), as they are applied to alter the growth of turf in order to reduce mowing frequency. Such products offer many benefits to the turf manager such as reduction in costs, better turf quality, and improved traffic tolerance. Let s look at how they can be used in your management program in the cool season zone. 1 CCH in Category 3B - RT

This presentation will summarize what those regulations are, the difference between state and federal regulations, licenses including CDL types, and HazMat Regulations. 1 CCH in Category 2-3A - 3B A - RT Nutsedge Biology and Control Strategies A.J. HEPHNER n FMC Market Specialists Without a doubt, Nutsedge is becoming an increased nuisance in managed turf grass systems as well as in ornamental beds.
