Current Research
Advancements in robotic technology for turfgrass management
CeRTES Global has been conducting research on the application of robotic mower technology since 2015 - longer than any other organization in the world. Our focus has been multifaceted with evaluation of turfgrass, weed and disease response, energy consumption, and environmental impacts.
Advanced Sports Surface Management
CeRTES Global is focused on turfgrass use for sport. Improving surfaces is critical for player performance, player injury prevention, and increasing the joy of sport.
Turfgrass in a Changing Climate
Turfgrass use has changed dramatically in the past decades. Southern Europe is now dominated by warm-season turfgrass which was dominated by cool-season grasses two to three decades ago. We are focused on aiding in the transition from cool to warm-season grasses which are more disease and drought tolerant than their predecessors.
