If you want to know more about grasses that are #lowinput and #sustainable check out the website a-listturf.org #turfgrass better seed better turf!
The A-LIST provides information on certified, high-quality turf that is verified through transparent protocols and independently tested > a-listturf.org

I want to show the stark playability difference between a fine fescue stand under drought conditions and a non competitive grass type. Look at weed encroachment between the 2. This turf only receives N!

Your Turfgrass Trial Explorer is a search tool to access over 1 Million NTEP Data records, from 1981-2020, find the interface at ntep.org/database.htm, choose a cultivar or trial, variables and viola 1/4
5+ years of development have led us to this point: our database/search tool are now publicly available. The Turfgrass Trial Explorer is free!..link on the following page. Note: data from 2021 is not yet in the tool (but will be added fairly soon)

How well do you recognize the differences between the fine fescues on your course? Learn how to classify these turfgrass types to capitalize on each of their strengths.

Big final phenotyping project this week with @MihelichNicole! We are teaming up to look at the results of various photoperiods and their effect on rhizome/tiller growth in select fine fescues @UMNplantbreed @UMNTurf
