Turfgrass

Not all Georgia agricultural products cover your table. Some cover the playing fields and golf courses of the world.

University of Georgia Experiment Station researchers pioneered the worldwide success of turf grasses. Tifway and Tifgreen, two Bermuda grass hybrids developed by researchers at the UGA Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, cover more golf courses, athletic fields and lawns than any other turf varieties in the world.

Today, a multidisciplinary team of experiment station scientists and extension service specialists support this burgeoning agricultural industry, which already has more than $1 billion impact on Georgia's economy annually.
