For the remainder of 2024, the NC State Turf Diagnostics Lab will waive all fees associated with turfgrass disease diagnosis for anyone managing turfgrass in the Western portions of our state affected by Hurricane Helene. This applies to golf courses, sports turf, commercial, and residential lawns.

Feel free to send as many as you'd like; we'll do our best to help ensure your turf survives this terrible event as well. If sending a physical sample is not an option, you can email photos to us and we'll do the best we can to provide a diagnosis and treatment plan for recovery.

Dr. Kerns, myself, and the other members of our team hope that each of you are safe and getting the supplies you need.

Feel free to contact us once you're able if you have any questions!
