Nu Destiny Wins Top Turf Honors

Dr. Doug Brede is the developer of Nu Destiny Kentucky bluegrass and 60 other popular turfgrasses. His research is headquartered in Post falls, Idaho, with remote test locations from Maryland to California.

Jacklin Seed has developed and released a Kentucky bluegrass variety that scored # 1 in the recent National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials, among 173 entries in overall turf performance. The trials were conducted at 28 land-grant colleges across North America. The purpose of the NTEP is to coordinate uniform evaluation trials of turfgrass varieties, and it is affiliated with the US Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Md. Test results are used by national companies and plant breeders to determine the broad picture of the adaptation of a cultivar. Nu Destiny scored a full 0.1 higher quality than the next contender.
