Yesterday at the @OhioTurfgrass we awarded Brynn Johnson from @OSU_HortCropSci with the Field Source Graduate Student award. Under the advisement of @TylerTalksTurf , Brynn's Masters project focuses on a decision making tool for turf managers to determine appropriate mowing heights and nitrogen rates on Kentucky Bluegrass and Turf Type Tall Fescue under traffic stress. Her work will have a significant impact on turfgrass managers in Ohio and beyond. Congratulations to Brynn and all of the other scholarship and award winners! #PrepareToPlay
