30th Anniversary Rutgers Turfgrass Symposium
Advances in Turfgrass Science: Looking to the Future
Thursday, March 18, 2021 | 9:00am to 4:15pm EST | Online | Free
The Center for Turfgrass Science at Rutgers University and the New Jersey Turfgrass Association cordially invite you to participate in the 30th Anniversary Rutgers Turfgrass Symposium. The 2021 program will be conducted online and will focus on recent advances in turfgrass science.
Showcasing new advances in turfgrass breeding, management, physiology, and pest control, the full-day virtual event is a great opportunity to learn about the latest and greatest in turf science from the safety and comfort of your own computer.
Topics include CRISPR-gene editing, plant phenotyping, oxadiazon resistance, and much more. We are especially excited to have Dr. Cristobal Uauy, of the John Innes Center in United Kingdom, present the keynote address, entitled, "Unlocking the polypoid potential of crops through genomics."
To participate in this free event, you must RSVP by March 16, 2021. Don't miss out, join us in looking to the future and Register Online Today!
