Every two years, something special happens at UConn’s Plant Science Research and Education facilities. A mile or so down the road from UConn’s main campus, hundreds of industry professionals join researchers and Extension educators for the biennial Turfgrass Field Day. At the unique event, faculty from the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture and UConn Extension share their latest projects with members of the business community who can directly benefit from this work.
“We are thrilled to continue to host the turfgrass community at campus as we have for over a decade,” says Indrajeet Chaubey, dean of UConn’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources. “UConn is committed to supporting the turfgrass industry with the resources, skilled workforce, and innovative research they need to grow and succeed in the state. We’re also grateful for their collaboration so we ensure our work aligns with their needs – it is the land-grant mission in action.”
