MSU-Bred Turfgrass Poised to Reign Supreme
SUMMARY: Sun Queen, a Bermuda grass variety developed by Melodee Fraser, the first female graduate of Mississippi State University‘s turfgrass management program, is gaining popularity worldwide. Fraser, who discovered her passion for turfgrass research at MSU, partnered with Pure-Seed Testing, Inc. to create Sun Queen, which underwent successful trials across the U.S. and is now commercially available. This seeded variety is less expensive, quick to germinate, and more aesthetically pleasing than traditional sod. Industry experts expect Sun Queen to disrupt the turfgrass market due to its heat and drought tolerance, particularly benefiting regions facing climate challenges.

Jambalaya tops the list, made with smoked Conecuh sausage, vegetables, and Mississippi-grown rice.
