WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —

Purdue University’s Turf and Landscape Field Day will take place Tuesday, July 18, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the William H. Daniel Turfgrass Research and Diagnostic Center. Research tours, info sessions and a trade show will comprise the annual one-day event.

“The 2023 field day will feature 18 faculty, staff and graduate students from Purdue featuring research, best management practices and pests of concern,” said Kyle Daniel, Purdue Extension specialist. “In addition to morning presentations, there will be four afternoon workshops that include turfgrass health, weed identification and control, getting started with using UAVs (drones), and a tour of the Purdue Arboretum discussing opportunities and challenges of native plantings.”

A trade show with over 40 exhibitors displaying equipment, turf and landscape products will also be included in the day’s activities.

The William H. Daniel Turfgrass Research and Diagnostic Center is located at 1340 Cherry Lane, West Lafayette. Registration begins at 8 a.m. ET the day of the event, and a Women of the Green Industry tour will occur at 3:30 p.m. after the field day concludes.
