The turgrass research funding year begins with our annual conference and trade show. At that time, about a third of our annual average is raised through the Silent Auction, 50/50 draw and by the efforts of the Kwantlen Turf Club. Also, any contributions from allied organizations are typically presented at the show.
Note: This is an abbreviated report. The complete 2017 NTA Research Report with figures, application dates, etc. is available at turf.wsu.edu (Research – Pullman; Biological Control of Poa annua in Fairways)
Based on funds raised in 2017, cash available to the Research Committee for new project funding in 2018 is just under $14,000.
