The 70th Kansas Turfgrass Conference is just 2 weeks away. The LAST DAY  TO REGISTER is this Friday, November 27th.

Pesticide recertification credits are available!  Attached is a copy of the program.  You can register online at: https://2020turfconference.eventbrite.com

Your attendance and participation in the annual conference are critical for ongoing support of turfgrass research, and this year your participation is even more critical. Funds raised through the conference are used to help support research centers, pay research associates who manage the centers, and allow for ongoing research projects that improve turf management strategies and help reduce operating budgets.

One advantage to this year’s conference is you can attend from a distance, and not pay for the cost of travel or lodging!  The lineup of speakers is impressive, and includes specialists from other state universities.

Join us, support K-State turfgrass research, and learn new information!  We look forward to having you at this year’s conference!

Turfgrass Field Day Series

Posted on by Brooke Garcia

By Dr. Jack Fry and Alex Bach

Turfgrass Field Day would have been on August 6th, 2020, had we been able to have an in-person event this summer. This is certainly a first! For that reason, we’re offering a few short video summaries of research projects being conducted by K-State faculty and researchers.  In this video by Alex Bach, M.S. student in Horticulture, he discusses subsurface irrigation and how it impacts establishment of turfgrass from seed.

Today would have been the 2020 Turfgrass Field Day!!!

Posted on by Brooke Garcia

By Brooke Garcia

Did you know that today would have been the K-State Turfgrass Field Day? We wish we could be together at Rocky Ford in Manhattan — presenting research, providing problem diagnosis, networking with our commercial exhibitors, and gazing at the amazing equipment displays!

We do plan to post written and video research updates throughout the remainder of the year on the Turf and Landscape Blog, accessible through our website: https://www.k-state.edu/turf/

Be sure to tune in over the next couple of weeks. We will be highlighting research and providing some awesome visuals of Rocky Ford Research Station in honor of the 2020 Turfgrass Field Day.

Thanks for your continued support! We can’t wait to connect again in-person one day. May the grass be greener on the other side.
