Turf contract research

The department conducts contract turf grass research. We have successfully partnered with a range of stakeholders to deliver fee-for-service outcomes in accordance with its program objectives. Projects are able to be negotiated if they align with government priorities and are in the areas of:

• genetic improvement
• efficient production systems
• market access
• pest and disease management
• technology transfer
• knowledge export.

Project partners have included Aquatrols, Turfgrass Producers International and Huidon Green Pty Ltd. A diverse range of projects have been undertaken from product assessments through to the development of management protocols. The project results are the property of the project partner. These may be publicly released at the request of the partner.
