This open access article is published in Crop Science as Multilocational screening identifies new drought-tolerant, warm-season turfgrasses. I got to learn more about this project when I visited the University of Florida in March 2022. The multilocational aspect of this plant breeding project involves sharing experimental varieties from different breeding programs and then,…
