In this episode of Frankly Speaking, Dr. Frank Rossi chats with Dr. Joe Roberts, plant pathologist at the University of Maryland. Hot topics include bacterial etiolation and decline and their relation to environmental and agronomic stresses, and the new Turfgrass Microbiome project that Dr. Roberts is participating in.  The Turf Microbiome project will identify and study communities of microorganisms that live within and on the plant that may be related to functions in turfgrass health.  

As always, smart talk from leading thinkers... and only on TurfNetRADIO.
