    Turfgrass Online
    Instructor: Eric Watkins Assistant Professor, Ph.D., Rutgers University, 2004. Dr. Watkins' research focuses on the development of new low-input turfgrass cultivars for use in Minnesota. Currently, the majority of turfgrass breeding occurs in either New Jersey or Oregon; turfgrass cultivars developed in Minnesota should be better able to survive and thrive in this climate. Research activities involve germplasm improvement of several cool-season turfgrass species including Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass. A major focus of his research is breeding native grasses such as prairie junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) for use as low-input turf. He is also involved with turfgrass cultivar evaluation and other turfgrass science research. Dr. Watkins teaches three undergraduate turfgrass science courses.
