Ep 48 Dr Cale Bigelow and Dr Jada Powlen Purdue University

Behind The Turf brought to you by Nadeem from Colin Campbell Chemicals

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of hosting Cale and Jada on the podcast. Since we last met up Jada has now become Dr Jada Powlen as she achieved her PHD and Dr Bigelow led Purdue University to another turf bowl win. Purdue University is in Indiana. The focus of the university is large horticulture crops and what is referred to as row crops. The broad range of the university allows for a range of ideas to adapt turfgrass and really looking at sustainability practices in turf managers. We talk about soil biology, the rhizosphere, and micro biome studies currently taking place.

We also talk about different cool season cultivars and the effort going into making these work better in terms of disease and drought and climate stress.
