Pure-Seed Testing is an industry leader in the development of improved seeded products, including drought tolerant turfgrasses. As part of the video series Varieties Make a Difference, the Drought Tolerance episode details the lengths to which Pure-Seeding Testing goes to develop advanced varieties that use less water. Learn about the research methods employed, how the data from drought studies leads to the production of improved varieties, and the role the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) plays in qualifying drought tolerant turfgrasses.
