Dominic Petrella studies turfgrass science, focusing on how grasses used in lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields respond to environmental stresses such as heat, cold, salt, shade, and chemical exposures. His work combines field trials with molecular techniques like gene expression analysis to understand plant stress tolerance and to test management practices such as fungicide application, plant growth regulators, and fertilization strategies.
