The results of the project showed that thick lawns deter run off and allow water to be ab sorbed. PTC funds will also support other research areas in Penn State’s turfgrass program. The Joseph Valentine Turfgrass Research Center, a 10-acre testing site for new turfgrass varieties, will receive new equipment. Two bentgrass varieties developed at the center, Penncross and Penn eagle, are used worldwide on ten nis courts, bowling greens and putting greens. PTC money will support re search on “bio-rational” means of insect control, which aims to re duce pesticide use. Researchers are looking for a turfgrass species that is resistant to root pathogens, a major problem on golf courses. The funds will support graduate 1248 S.
