In this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, I sit down with Dr. Lee Miller of Purdue University, one of the leading experts in turfgrass pathology, to break down everything you need to know about turfgrass disease resistance, fungicide rotations, and accurate turf disease identification. Whether you manage golf course greens, sports fields, or home lawns, this conversation gives you the practical, science-based guidance needed to protect your turf from common and emerging diseases.

We explore what disease resistance in turfgrass truly means, why resistance develops, and how environmental conditions and management practices influence disease pressure. Dr. Miller explains how to design effective fungicide rotation programs, how to avoid resistance through proper FRAC group management, and how to choose the right mode of action at the right time of year.

If you’re looking for evidence-based turfgrass management, best practices for fungicide use, or expert insights into turf disease diagnostics, this video delivers the tools you need.
