Research
Turfgrass and Agronomy Research Center
A new turfgrass research facility in Pullman was completed in 2005. It includes a USGA experimental green, 15 turfgrass plots (80' x 80'), an office/shop, and a storage building. Charles Golob, Research Supervisor, manages the research facility.
Current Research Emphasis
Current emphasis is on comparing different fungicide treatments on snow mold disease, evaluating different grass species for the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP), evaluating mesotrione for weed control in cool-season grasses, the use of wetting agents to control localized dry spots on putting greens, and the development of Kentucky bluegrass for non-thermal seed production. In addition to these projects, information on older projects such as controlling leaf spot on golf fairways, Poa annua seedheads suppression on bentgrass/annual bluegrass putting greens, quantifying post-harvest emissions from bluegrass seed production field burning, rapid and non-destructive method for seperating clippings from sand, correlation of field and controlled-environment studies of pink snow mold resistance of PNW greens-type Poa annua, regional climatic characterization of PNW greens-type Poa annua, and nitrogen leaching from a sand-based green can be found below.
