Turfgrass Pathology Committee


Mission Statement

The mission of the Turfgrass Pathology Committee is to provide a forum for exchange of information related to the ecology, epidemiology, genetics, and management of turfgrass diseases and to encourage collaboration among scientists at the national level.

Join the APS Turfgrass Listserv -- Connect with your colleagues on turfgrass, simply email Brian Mowery (mowery.32@osu.edu) with your interest, including your name and the email address you wish to have the listserve sent to, and you'll be added to the list.
