Beautiful sunrise at the Adelphia research farm today! No turf plot rating today.

Our latest attempt at keeping the crows from eating the summer patch inoculum on the 2023 NTEP Kentucky bluegrass test. #turfgrassbreeding #NTEP

@PureSeed_RPMS We just did the same thing today!!

Turf plots have been planted at PST-West. Stay tuned for an update!

@PureSeed_RPMS @CRoseFricker That’s what I always say about bluegrass too!!

“Bluegrass breeding is not easy.” she stated. “It’s one of my favorite speices because it’s not easy. It’s a challenge.” Crystal Rose-Fricker, dives into bluegrass breeding at Pure-Seed Testing. This footage was captured during Pure Seed's Field Day in June 2024. @CRoseFricker

Thanks to the strong response from the NJ turf industry we are back up and running with minimal impact to the research. Thanks to everyone who brought us equipment, this isn't a post asking for help, but one to say thank you! In the near and long term we are working to rebuild.

We had a major fire Thursday at one of of research farms. One firefighter was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has recovered, but otherwise nobody was hurt. We lost the shop, carts, and all of the fine turf mowers.

Mark your calendars for Field Days: July 30 (Golf and Fine Turf) July 31 (L&L, Sports) Diseases, weeds, stress physiology, remote sensing, the latest turf cultivars, equipment demos, credits and more. We look forward to seeing you all there! Register:njta.wildapricot.org/event-5681543

Proud momma moment tonight as my son, Ricardo Jr received a Ralph Geiger Scholarship towards his second year at the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management Program. Ralph Geiger was an avid golfer and businessman with a desire to help students who wanted to be superintendents.

@mckaylafricker @Jennifer_Turf Thank you for your service Jen!!

@Jennifer_Turf Thank you for your service!

On this Veteran’s Day, I reflect on the decision I made as an 18 year old to join the US Army . That decision set me on the path to a career I love. My GI Bill paid my way through the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Program Rutgers Ocpe Turf in 2005-2006.

This is your last chance to apply for the Rutgers Winter 2024 Professional Golf Turf Management School: Two-Year Certificate Program. Hurry, only a few seats are left! conta.cc/462GVCk

Some of the most dramatic differences in brown patch disease I have seen in tall fescue! Perfect summer of heat and humidity.

Bring on the gray leaf spot! RU progeny are holding great! Top pictures are perennial ryegrass. Bottom pictures are tall fescue.

@MtnView_Seeds @Cutler_A4 We are working on that. We have started traffic studies during winter months in addition to evaluations under heat stress. We have promising breeding material with both traits!

Great thoughts ⬇️ #PiperMVS & #OakleyMVS are new bents built to handle cool-season growth + aggressive 🔥 recovery! Thanks for spotlighting @Cutler_A4, & thanks for breeding both @StacyBonos !🙌🤝
