Prof on Discovery Channel
April 09, 2012 - In the News
Plant agriculture professor and turfgrass researcher Eric Lyons was featured on the Discovery Channel program Daily Planet Monday night.
The segment looked at research Lyons is doing to optimize LED technology to provide supplemental light to shaded turfgrass areas such as tees and greens. Applications may also include stadiums.
Lyons is working to identify the factors that limit the growth and utility of turfgrass species and increase the understanding of the causes of these limitations. This knowledge will lead to a better understanding of the turfgrass ecosystem and better tools for effective turfgrass management.
Daily Planet is a daily science show that delivers a mix of documentaries and features.
