Three new university research projects have been chosen for funding support by the GCSAA.
The projects, all chosen by a committee that included two members of the GCSAA board of directors, superintendents and university researchers, will receive a combined $182,000 from a block grant through the GCSAA Foundation.
The following three research projects will be funded for two years:
- Chemical and biological control of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) on golf course putting green surfaces: Ming-Yi Chou, Ph.D., Rutgers University.
- Impact of soil properties on plant-parasitic nematode populations: Alec Kowalewski, Ph.D.; Hannah Rivedal, Ph.D.; Emily Braithwaite; Charles Schmid; Ph.D.; and Jen Moore, Ph.D., Oregon State University.
- Environmentally sound irrigation and nitrogen management strategies for sprig establishment of warm-season putting greens: Benjamin Wherley, Ph.D.; Weston Floyd; and Ashton Franks, Ph.D., Texas A&M University
There are now 11 ongoing research projects funded by GCSAA, totalling $587,535 in funding.
Funding for research comes to GCSAA through the foundation and donors.
