on golf courses - come find out if it can work on

Kansas home lawns.

Turf & Ornamental Insect Control — Ray Cloyd

wilt research, as well as exploring alternative conifers

for the Kansas landscape.

Viburnum Selection for Kansas — Cheryl Boyer

Many viburnum species grow well in Kansas, but what

characteristics make them shine across all of our

varying climates? Last fall we planted 19 species of

viburnum at 7 locations across the state and had

interesting results for winter survivability. As the

study progresses, we will challenge these species with

heat, drought and cold. What will be the defining

characteristics of the winners? Come see how your

favorite species performed in south central Kansas

and maybe find a few new ones to try.

Drought Resistant and Low Water Use

Turfgrass and Landscape Plants — Dale Bremer

Turf and landscape plants differ in water-use rates

and in their abilities to withstand severe drought.

This presentation will focus on those species that use

less water and withstand drought better.
