KXplores Emerging Research: Dom and Ed test shade grass cultivars

Testing turfgrass cultivars for shade tolerance traditionally involves screens. But grass grows in a wide range of shade conditions in home lawns, golf courses, and stadiums. Dr. Dom Petrella from the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science and Ohio State ATI explains how he’d like to optimize testing methods with gels to create cultivars more suited to their actual growing environment. And colleague Dr. Ed Nangle chimes in for our Dream Big segment.
