Cooperate in the 2024 Perennial Ryegrass Trial
|
Use the form shared here to submit your RFI before September 15th 5pm Pacific to be considered. The 2024 Perennial Ryegrass is planned to run at six (6) locations across North America. The trial will be packaged and distributed to cooperators in August of 2024 for timely establishment. Trialing is anticipated to run three (3) years across locations. Trialing is governed by the TWCA cooperator manual. TWCA supplies cooperators with standardized cameras. Cameras are returned to TWCA annually for callibration and inspection. Cooperators receive a fresh set of light bulbs for the lightbox annually ensuring standard photography and standard lighting.
Cooperators are expected to submit data via Teams using TWCA supplied formats. This aides in rapid accurate analysis of data. Cooperators participate in two of three (2/3) annual cooperator calls. The first cooperator call of the year is held in February with calls recurring once every four (4) months for the duration of the trial |
Find Your TWCA!TWCA is for everyone, but how can everyone find it? The TWCA Members map highlights TWCA members nearest you. Look for the seed and sod icons to find the vendor you need. Be forewarned though, sod vendors ALSO carry seed! So, if you are looking for seed, don't be afraid to reach out to sod vendors too!

Strong Cooperators Yield Strong Results
TWCA's blend of public and private researchers at locations across North America consistently returns quality research and usable results.
Utilizing multi-year, multi-site trialing across a broad geographic range allows TWCA Cooperators to effectively eliminate confounding factors from the trial results. This results in a high measure of confidence that the results in trialing indicate drought tolerance in the plants and are not the result of some other variable.
