The Center for Turfgrass Science was established at Rutgers University in 1991 by Reed Funk. Thirty-six faculty as well as other researchers and students are currently associated with the Center. Virtually all major producers, distributors and marketers of turfgrass in the U.S. rely on Rutgers for a significant portion of new cultivars, and Rutgers believes that more than half of all premium turfgrass seed sold in the U.S. originated at Rutgers. Rutgers is using modern genetic engineering technologies to continue producing commercially important species.
