2022 is TCS’s 30th anniversary and what better way to celebrate than to give back! So TCS approached Dr. Erik Watkins, head of turfgrass research at the University of Minnesota, and submitted an application to donate 5% of our turfgrass sales to U of M TROE Center for turfgrass science research. Their research directly benefits turfgrass managers in our region with ongoing projects focused on environmental protection, production and management, and breeding and genetics.
This has real-world implications for all our turf clients including:
- Determining the turf grasses that require the least amount of water/fertilizer to maintain beauty and resiliency i.e., drought tolerance
- Screening grasses for resistance to disease
- Means and methods for increased environmental sustainability overall
