New peer-reviewed scientific article on @LowInputTurf titled "Seed morphology, germination, and seedling vigor characteristics of fine fescue taxa and other cool-season turfgrass species" doi.org/10.1002/csc2.2… @Ross_Braun @PurdueTurfDoc @PurdueHortLA @KSUTURF @KStateHNR

Researchers share findings from several peer-reviewed studies to summarize the turf ETc or Kc of cool-season turfgrass species. See what they found here: bit.ly/3NmfpZ9 (Map retrieved from koeppen-geiger.vu-wien .ac.at/)

Check out this great article highlighting the benefits of fine fescue as a low input, sustainable turfgrass: ag.purdue.edu/department/btn… A-List approved fine fescue varieties can be found on our website! #lowinput #sustainability #finefescuefriday #turfgrass

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!

Hard fescue shade tolerant crossing block. Plant do not seem to have suffered from our 22-23 Minnesotan winter! ⁦@UMNTurf⁩

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

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. bit.ly/2EmqKZm @GCSAA

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
