The Year In Review - Travels of John Mascaro
Page 33
June - September 2007

The below photo's are a photo journal for my website visitors to enjoy.  I have been fortunate to have been able to travel from time to time and with each trip, I photograph turfgrass conditions that I encounter.  I will continue this forum and add to the photo's (and of course soil profile samples) as I continue to travel from place to place.

June also brought the Gulf Coast Turfgrass Expo and Field Day in Jay Florida. This is Dr. Bryan Unruh from the University of Florida, IFAS welcoming the group. This is some of the plots at the IFAS Turfgrass Research Station in Jay (Outside Pensacola, FL). These are some seeded Bermudagrass trails being conducted by the University of Florida

The following day brought field fours of the different experiments being done on turf in Gainesville at the new research facility in Citra, FL (Just south of Gainesville).

This is me and Richard Sanger (Richard is a certified water auditor) showing how the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer works to assist the water audit. The final step in the water audit at the City of Palms Park was to use the Precipitation / Uniformity Gauges to determine how much water is being applied and also how uniform is the irrigation coverage.
