SAES-422 Multistate Research Activity Accomplishments Report
Sections
Status: Approved
Basic Information
- Project No. and Title: NCERA_OLD192 : North Central Regional Turfgrass Research
- Period Covered: 06/01/2002 to 07/01/2003
- Date of Report: 11/04/2003
- Annual Meeting Dates: 06/16/2003 to 06/18/2003
Participants
See http://www.turf.uiuc.edu/NCR-192/ for a list of attendees. Official reps were present from all states except Missouri. In addition, a significant number of graduate students from most states participated.
See http://www.turf.uiuc.edu/NCR-192/ for the full minutes.
After introdutions and committee reports, the first morning was spent in breakout sessions around an evaluation of the turf industry within the North Central Region. Each group summarize their thoughts which led to a series of conclusions on how NCR192 can better interface with industry needs. The conclusions are found in the Accomplishment and Impact sections of this report. In the afternoon, the group interacted with a groundskeeper at a local sports stadium, visited a local country club where Toro demonstrated prototypes on turf maintainence equipment, and toured the new turf reseach facility at the University of Minnesota. An evening dinner, sponsored by the Minnesota Turf and Landscape Association, provided the opportuntiy to interact with industry leaders.
Day 2 was spent discussing the mid-term review, receiving updates on regional projects, and delivering state reports.

Accomplishments
See Minutes at http://www.turf.uiuc.edu/NCR-192/. Half-day was devoted to self-evaluation of the turf industry and the role of NCR192. Obstacles to regional cooperation and how they could be overcome were discussed. Ways to develop mechanisms that encourage graduate students to become involved in collaborative work were explored.
Impacts
- Self-evaluation will provide the basis for a strong renewal request in 2005.
- Format of the 2004 meeting will be modified to include more time to discuss 2-3 regional projects in depth, to develop more cohesive future plans, and to identify critical issues common to the north central region.
- It was decided that the NCR192 website needs to be enhanced to facilitate easier public access to turf information.
- Regional publications will be posted on the NCR192 website.
- The NCR192 website and the Lawn Problem Solver will be linked.
- A tentative format for the 2004 meeting was developed: half-day on current and future research; half-day on group projects; half-day of breakout sessions on regional projects; half-day on business issues, prepare for 2005 renewal of NCR192, and grant initiatives.
