Beard provides new look at origin of turf species

New research documents turfgrass migration.

Dr. Jim Beard, legendary turf researcher and author, has released a new paper on the origins of native and invasive turfgrass plant species. According to Pete Cookingham at Michigan State University’s Turfgrass Information Center, “It documents recent science-based changes in the dating and biogeographical analyses of grass migration, including the fine-leaf fescues.  This paper may be of interest to your key state and regional turfgrass leaders and government decision makers.”
