Turfgrass Nutrition & Ecology
Emeritus Faculty
Williams Hall 4123D
Dr. Dan Bowman, Professor of Crop Science, is a plant physiologist interested in the impact of turfgrass culture on environmental quality. Current research is designed to characterize aspects of the nitrogen cycle in turfgrass soils, reduce soil-based stresses such as aluminum toxicity and hypoxia,and to evaluate new and emerging technologies in turfgrass management. He teaches CS 200 — Introduction to Turfgrass Management.
