Attendees include golf course superintendents, lawn care and landscape professionals, R&D collaborators, sports field managers, municipal grounds managers, and commercial industry distributors. The UConn Turfgrass Field Day consists of a series of tour stops that participants visit in the morning to learn about the individual research projects UConn faculty are conducting, with more formal presentations in the afternoon. Exhibitors from commercial vendors and professionals in the turfgrass industry also participate in the event. In my role with UConn Extension, I evaluate many of these products and provide turfgrass managers science-based recommendations using product performance in trials conducted here in Connecticut.” Sharing emerging science conducted at UConn with industry professionals is having immediate impact, Inguagiato says.
