Have you ever wondered what happens at a turfgrass research facility? Walk through the O.J. Noer Turfgrass Research & Education Facility with Glen Obear to learn about the facility and Exacto’s involvement there.

Glen provides insight into some of Exacto’s research at the facility including adjuvant usage with fungicide, wetting agent testing, and more. Partnering with excellent facilities like the O.J. Noer is one of the ways Exacto puts lab-tested products to the test before putting it to use in real-world turf and ornamental applications.

The O.J. Noer facility has a broad variety of turf types, soil types, and microenvironments and a presence of diseases including dollar spot, pythium, brown patch, localized dry spot (LDS), and others common to the Midwest. Specialized irrigation systems help with creating the perfect testing environment for wetting agent studies.

The O.J. Noer Turfgrass Facility is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Turfgrass Program and the Wisconsin Turfgrass Association.

Why More Athletic Fields are Converting to Natural Turf

While athletes almost always prefer natural grass fields, artificial turf is a widely used playing surface due to the perception that it is easier to maintain.
