A SERIES ON PURE-SEED TESTING RESEARCH AND VARIETIES 

A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

In the wake of the pandemic we chose to cancel our 34th in person 2020 Field Day. We instead created a virtual experience to show the exciting research that Pure-Seed Testing has been conducting. Our team has created a virtual tour presented in 11 episodes. Each episode will highlight solutions to problems turf and forage specialists deal with throughout the year.  Turfgrass professionals will explore the value of each trait and why our breeders create varieties that make substantial differences in today's world.
