Regional Optimization of Roadside Turfgrass Seed Mixtures Phase 3

In this Phase 3 project, the research team proposes to take advantage of the existing field sites to collect longer-term data across Minnesota to strengthen their findings from Phase 2 and ensure the best possible roadside turfgrass mixture recommendations for public stakeholders. Finally, the budget tool developed in Phase 3 will be augmented with new data, including field trial results, and developed into a web-based tool easily accessible by users.
