NIBIO Turfgrass Research Group
Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research is an indipendent research institute owned by the Norwegian ministry of Food and Agriculture. The Turfgrass Research Group is a part of the Urban greening and environmental technology department.
Four researchers and two technicians have for a decade provided the turf grass industry with "ready to use research".
The projects have mainly been funded by Scandinavian Turfgrass and Environment Research Foundation (STERF). The main topic has been winter stress management of sports turf, but their work also includ grass variety testing new irrigation strategies, optimal fertilization and environmental studies.
