This Bermudagrass Master Guide represents the culmination of Anton's extensive field testing, research synthesis from leading universities, and practical problem-solving across hundreds of bermudagrass installations.

Anton's approach combines rigorous scientific understanding with practical accessibility—making professional-grade knowledge available to homeowners while providing reference-quality depth for turfgrass professionals.
"Spring dead spot is the most economically damaging disease of bermudagrass. It's also one of the most frustrating - by the time you see symptoms in spring, the infection occurred months earlier in fall."
The guide walks you through the complete biology of the disease, why it appears in spring but infects in fall, exact fungicide application timing and products, cultural practices that reduce risk, cultivar resistance rankings, and realistic expectations for control.
Every disease, insect, and weed follows this same comprehensive format.
"If Tifway is the reliable workhorse, TifTuf is the evolution - same toughness, but drinks half the water. University trials documented that TifTuf uses 38% less water than Tifway while maintaining equal or better turf quality."
Real-world performance data, not marketing hype. Every cultivar profile includes development history, NTEP trial data, management requirements, and honest trade-offs.
Every recommendation is backed by research from leading turfgrass universities: University of Georgia, NC State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Clemson, University of Florida, Mississippi State, and more. Includes citations to peer-reviewed studies, NTEP trial data, and extension publications.
