1998 Turfgrass Research
Listed below are the turfgrass research projects being conducted in 1998 by faculty,
staff, and students in the Departments of Agronomy, Horticulture, Entomology, and Botany
and Plant Pathology. The research being conducted is designed to help all segments
of the turf industry. Project titles followed by 1998 in parentheses were initiated
in 1998.
