General Information:
The Turfgrass Field Laboratory is the site of numerous research projects on cool-season
grasses (Tall Fescue, Creeping Bentgrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Perennial Ryegrass),
and warm-season grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and St. Augustine).
National cultivar testing and evaluation take place at this Field Laboratory. In
addition, fertility studies, herbicide and plant growth regulator tests, fungicide
testing on various diseases, water use and irrigation requirements, rolling tests,
fan studies, overseeding and soil aeration tests are conducted.
Join us for the Annual NC Turf Field day held each year in August. This field day
showcases current turfgrass
research projects.
Professionals in the turf and landscape industry will be able to tour demonstration
plots, visit with vendors and enjoy a delicious lunch. Participants can receive
pesticide recertification credits. Sponsors for this field day include the North
Carolina Agricultural Research Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension
Service, and the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina. Pre-registration is recommended.
