Our Research

Research Over The Years

Funding & Support

Since the beginning of the WTSC, farmers have funded research to improve their industry. Major funding has been spent on genetics, weed and disease control, water use and drought tolerance, and social issues.

Genetics

Weed & Disease Control

Water Use, Soil Mgmt & Drought Tolerance

Social Issues

Genetics

Advances in genetic research help Washington turfgrass seed producers grow the latest varietals coupled with the ability to fight disease, stress, and perform to the highest standards.

Weeds & Disease

Weed-free fields deliver weed-free seed at harvest. Research on controlling weeds during production helps Washington turfgrass seed producers deliver clean, genetically pure seed. Disease control during production is imperative to ensure high-quality seed with maximum germination rates. Research helps Washington turfgrass seed producers develop best management practices to grow the finest product possible.

Water, Soils & Drought

Research on drought tolerance and water use allows Washington turfgrass seed producers to grow seed that produces sustainable lawns and green spaces that stand up to drought and use less water. 

Social Issues

Social and Climate research helps Washington turfgrass seed producers understand the perception of natural turfgrass and the direct and indirect challenges to our society and environment.
