Dear ENCTA Membership,
Turf Diagnostics Lab
I am writing to introduce you to turfpathology.org, the new home for information on turf diseases in North Carolina. On this site you’ll find a wealth of information about diagnostics services, turf disease management, and our current research projects. In addition, we’ll be posting disease alerts, management updates, and other useful news on a regular basis to help keep the industry informed and up-to-date.
I understand that most of us receive too much email as it is, so this is the last email you will receive from me unless you elect to sign-up for email updates. In addition to email, there are a variety of other ways to receive our news and alerts, just choose the method that works best for you!
Facebook, Twitter, Email Updates, RSS Newsreader
I hope you will take advantage of these tools to receive important alerts of disease outbreaks or updates on new disease management practices!Best wishes for a disease-free 2011!
