Welcome to the KTFWelcome the Kansas Turfgrass Foundation.
The Kansas Turfgrass Foundation is affiliated with, and works in cooperation with, the Kansas State University turfgrass program. The primary objectives are to support turfgrass research and education for the benefit of the turfgrass industry in Kansas. It is a nonprofit organization and the fees are used to finance turfgrass research projects, educational conferences and field days and for expenses of the organization. We wish to promote research and to disseminate information for the promotion of better turfgrasses and landscapes for golf courses, parks, cemeteries, airports, public and private schools, college and universities, institutions, private businesses and individuals. The KTF cooperates with federal, state, and other interested agencies in working for the betterment of turf and landscapes for people everywhere. |
