Try saying that three times fast!
All you soccer fans out there - did you know some of the grass at the World Cup this year was developed right here in Georgia? The turf at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban (where the semi finals will be played) is known in the trade as Tiftsport.

This rugged grass adapts well to many growing conditions and came out of the 1997 breeding program at the UGA facility in Tifton. Science professor Wayne Hanna gets the bow for leading this and other similar breeds used around the world today.
Got your own soccer players at home tearing up the lawn? Maybe this should be your turf of choice.
Kickin' it,
Lyn
