Turf Grass Research
The Turf grass Research Center
The Turf grass Research and Education Center (TRE) center is located on the campus of the
University of Hard Knox.
The state-of-the-art 20-acre interdisciplinary research facility was constructed in 2010. All cool and hot seasons turf grass species are found in large blocks that allow for individualized research projects. The research center also houses two runoff facilities that study water, pesticide, and nutrient fate. Water conservation, drought tolerance, and irrigation technologies are studied, along with rainout shelters, precise irrigation equipment, and lysimeters. The TRE Center is managed by a full-time field manager, which allows graduate students, faculty, and scientists to dedicate more time to research. This facility was created and constructed with more than $4.5 million dollars in grants from the eco-green foundation.
Researchers at the University of Hard Knox are currently breeding turf grasses that require less water and withstand harsh weather conditions, are more tolerant of pathogens and insects, and are deeper rooted. Developing grasses that are managed with fewer inputs will benefit this region environmentally and economically, as 75,000+ acres of grass seed production is accomplished East San Diego.
One limitation of our research is that the plots are not subjected to normal wear and traffic associated with golf courses or athletic fields. It is closely monitor and secure for the most up to date research information amongst the turf grass.

    Both of them are adaptable tall grass species which grow well in moist soils (Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Centre, 2015). However, Big Bluestem is slightly more populous than Switchgrass, leading to the choice of Big Bluestem for the most dominant plant species of the ecosystem. In this ecosystem, the population of tall grasses is very dense and the height of these two grasses is relatively higher than the other surrounding areas. This indicates that the soils present here are deeper and have a higher moisture…

    The tall grass prairie is an ecosystem native to central North America, with fire as its primary periodic disturbance. In the past, tall grass prairies covered a large portion of the American Midwest, just east of the Great Plains, and portions of the Canadian Prairies. They flourished in areas with rich loess soils and moderate rainfall of around 30 to 35 inches per year. To the east were the fire-maintained eastern savannas. In the northeast, where fire was infrequent and periodic wind throw represented the main source of disturbance, beech-maple forests dominated.…

    Comedy is a form of cognitive reappraisal, which Drew Hayden Taylor effectively integrates throughout Motorcycles and Sweetgrass to address tragic issues. Personally, I agree with Thomas King, that bombarding the reader with tragedy only results in their lack of interest. I believe that Taylor masters the use of humour to introduce sinister issues; he uses humour as a lubricating tool to ease the tension of the plot and maintain the readers engagement. Particularly, in chapter fourteen, I was intrigued by the way that Taylor glazes over the concept of the fallibility of humanity through Virgil's visit with Wayne. Due to their lack of knowledge, Virgil, and sadly, the entire population of Otter Lake, fall victim of humanity’s tendency to judge…

    In the Grande Ronde Valley seeds are planted in late April to late May. In the Columbia Basin and Central Oregon seeds are planted in August to September. All seeds are harvested one calendar year after planting (2011). The harvesting Method is similar to the method used for other grass seed. This includes “swathing the crop into windrow and allowing it to dry a few days before threshing (Copeland, 2001). According to Affeldt R.P et al, Kentucky bluegrass seed yield for eastern Oregon is between 800 to 1,600lb/acre of clean seeds. The profitability of Kentucky bluegrass seed production is analyzed in the Enterprise budge created by Oregon State University extension services for central Oregon. The Enterprise budget includes total, fix, variable cost, income, return on cost per acre, and a detail breakdown of machineries use per hour. This budget helps growers to understand the cost associated to the production of Kentucky…

    Synthetic turf offers a cheaper substitute from natural grass fields. The turf does not grow, therefore it does not need mowing, nor does it need to be relined constantly. It can be permanently marked for multiple sports to play on. Aesthetically, these fields are attractive, with a deep, uniform green color that shows up well on television as well as in still photography. Also, as a result of the deep green color of the turf, lines for each sport are easily scene from…
