Turfgrass demonstration plots
To determine which turfgrasses are best suited for the many different climatic areas in New Mexico, turfgrass screening trials were established in Artesia, Gallup, Las Cruces, Los Lunas, Tucumcari, and at the Santa Ana Pueblo near Albuquerque. The turfgrass trials at the respective locations include up to 36 grasses. Some of the grasses were introduced to the turf market only a few years ago and have never been tested under New Mexico climatic conditions.
