The TRC is the main site for field research and is conveniently located on the outskirts of campus.

The Turfgrass Culture & Phsyiology, Entomology, and the Plant Pathology & Weed Science departments regularly experiment on the warm and cool season grasses located onsite.

Turf Physiology Labs

Both turf physiology labs are in Smyth Hall, which is located in the original agricultural quadrangle.

The turfgrass teaching and research greenhouse is housed in the unversity greenhouse complex.

We maintain turfgrass cultures for teaching ID purposes and conduct supplemental research within the turfgrass dedicated greenhouse.

The chamber is capable of multiple and/or gradual temperature settings, humidity, light intensity, etc., which provides a climate controlled supplemental research facility.
