Cooperative multi-state grants:

Auburn University:

A new project was initiated with TN, CT, MI, and AR to evaluate the effects of mowing height by rolling frequency interactions on ball roll distance.

A project was also initiated with TN, NJ, and AR to create and evaluate the accuracy of a DIA program that can provide a turf quality ratings (1-9 scale) using digital image analysis.

Traffic tolerance of bermudagrass was evaluated in 2007 at AR and GA. An ancillary study is also currently being funded by NTEP in AR and FL.

Tolerance of zoysiagrass seedlings to various combinations of Fusillade, Acclaim, and Turflon is being tested in IN, TN, and AR.
