About the Turf Team
The UMass Extension Turf Program is a research-based team of faculty
and professional, technical, and support staff. As part of the Agriculture and Landscape
Program of UMass Extension, we strive to address the highest priority
needs of turf-related industries as well as the citizens of the Commonwealth.
Our mission is to develop, research, gather and share new knowledge
on economically viable and environmentally sound turf management.
We provide education to adult professionals through seminars, conferences,
short courses, field days, publications, diagnostics, and consultations.
Educational programs include Winter School for Turf Managers, Green School,
and the Lawn Care Seminar. Publications include Turf IPM Facts,
Protocols for an IPM System on Golf Courses, the Professional
Guide for IPM in Turf for Massachusetts, and the Turf Notes
newsletter. Our web site, www.UmassTurf.org,
contains information on diagnostic services, turf reference materials,
a free e-mail update list, an extensive links section, and features management
updates designed to keep visitors informed of the latest turf pest developments.
Our clients include: municipal turf and grounds managers; golf course
superintendents and crew members; lawn care operators and personnel; landscapers
and grounds managers; public and private facility athletic turf managers;
sod producers; regulatory and environmental agency personnel; private
consultants and educators; turf industry affiliated distributors and vendors;
municipal officials; and community decision makers.
