WHY?

Sports turf management blends business skills, art, and agronomic sciences to provide playable, safe, and aesthetically attractive turf playing fields. Turfgrasses are used in a variety of sporting venues throughout Maryland and the U.S. because they can be mowed at different heights, withstand traffic, and create a resilient surface.

Sports organizations and institutions are demanding a growing number of qualified individuals with agronomic expertise to manage all types of athletic fields.
