At UF Grad Research Day: Discussed drought screening in #zoysiagrass using #PEG simulation and its significance in saving potable water resources. UF IFAS Turfgrass

Since 1922, UF IFAS Turfgrass and USGA Green Section have partnered to improve the game of golf. Glad to have the Research Committee visit the UF IFAS Solutions Plant Science Research & Education Unit today to learn about our current efforts in research, extension, and teaching. Kevin Kenworthy

The UF IFAS Turfgrass welcomed the USGA Green Section for a visit/tour of the UF IFAS Solutions research being conducted across the state today. It was great to meet new people and catch up with old friends!

Thank you for the opportunity!

From Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana to NAPB, our shared passion for plant science weaves a thread that connects us all… It was great to see everyone!⭐️ 🌾 Karansher Singh Sandhu, Ph.D. (Karan)

Being a #turfgrass student it was a great experience at NAPB conference to share potential benefits of low maintenance turf grass (bahiagrass). I presented my herbicide resistance work using mutagenesis. Sod Solutions FTGA UF IFAS Turfgrass

An outstanding zoysiagrass cultivar "BRAZOS" developed by Dr Kevin Kenworthy's breeding program.

How did I miss this outstanding program to share 😐 It was a great learning experience with extraordinary students and absolutely amazing personalities Heather McAuslane and Antonio Faciola, Ph.D.. Learned how to become an effective mentor. Thank you for the opportunity!

Interesting!! Excited to explore practical solutions to replace #artificial turf with #natural turfgrass that can directly benefit #footballplayers. Looking forward to groundbreaking advancements in this area! Ban Plastic Turf
