Birth of a new grass! 1600 plug trays of XZ14069 Zoysia produced by Team NC State are being sent to growers for stock. Lots of excitement in the #wolfpack nation! This grass is tough, drought tolerant, and a true marvel of science. @TPITurfTalk @NationalASLA @NCState @NC_ASLA @

A greener #lawn with less water? It's possible! @NCTurfBreeding 's team is working with multiple universities to develop drought-tolerant #turfgrass as part of a nine-year @USDA_NIFA specialty crop grant to preserve water & turf benefits. ow.ly/OiaZ50zlpYy

University Scientists Grow Water Savings with Drought-Tolerant Turfgrass

A network of turfgrass researchers from six major universities, led by NC State, is reducing our lawn's irrigation needs with drought-tolerant turfgrasses that are attractive and healthy with minimal...

It's a good thing the NC State #turf trial plots look rough. Dr. Susana Milla-Lewis explains at today's Turf Field Day how the samples are being evaluated. Over 1600 new #zoysia samples are being testing for growth & stress tolerance with lower inputs. #growingthefuture
