Question:"When is the best time to evaluate shade problems on troubled areas of the course? (West Virginia)"
Source of Question:West Virginia
Answer/Response:"By far the best time to evaluate sunlight penetration is early in the morning. The drying effect offered by the light and warmth of the rising sun helps dry the turf early in the morning. This can be a critical component of an integrated pest management program. Also, evaluate sunlight exposure in all seasons. Spring is critical because the sun is moving higher in the sky. In the fall, the sun is actually dropping in the southern sky. Sunlight intensity varies and, as such, the effect on the turf will vary. For additional information, refer to the May/June 1997 issue of the Green Section Record, "Using New Technology to Solve an Old Problem: Trees," by David Oatis."
