STERF Launches New Website

Maria Strandberg, STERF Director

The Scandinavian Turfgrass and Environment Research Foundation (STERF) was set up by the golf federations of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and the Nordic Greenkeeper Associations.

STERF’s mission is to raise funds that will go towards supporting research for the benefit of the Scandinavian golf sector. So far, STERF has funded 22 research projects.

The foundation has decided on following important categories of research:

  • Breeding and evaluation of turfgrass species and varieties
  • Winter stress management
  • Control of diseases, pests and weeds
  • Golf course construction, soil amendments and efficient use of water and plant nutrients
  • Carbon accounting and energy conservation
  • Nature conservation and cultural preservation

More information on priority research areas and STERF funded projects can be found on the STERF website
