Dr. Jim Baird on Warm-Season Breeding, Water and Turf Trends Out West | EP. 44
The University of California, Riverside, Turf Breeding Program has been hard at work developing improved warm-season grasses and finding solutions to the issues facing golf courses in California and throughout the Southwest. In our new podcast episode, Dr. Jim Baird discusses how their new bermudagrass releases can help golf courses save water and improve conditions year round. We also chat about which bermudagrass traits are being targeted for future improvement, where kikuyugrass could find a niche in golf, the current water situation out West, and much more!
