When it comes to lawn management, droughts in the Midwest have become a topic of concern. Generally, homeowners will mow their lawn in a scheduled manner (once a week) or based on grass growth rate (⅓ rule), but should we mow based on how stressed the grasses are? Although this can be partially unrealistic, having a basic understanding of how your lawn responds to times of heat and drought in summer may help keep your grass greener for a longer period of time. 

The UMN Turfgrass Science team will be at two events this week!

The UMN Turfgrass Science team will be at the City of Andover's Tree Time event this Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

The UMN Turfgrass Science team will be at both of the following events this Saturday!

On Saturday, April 1, 2023 from 8:00 a.m.
