4 Driven by science to seed a green future Our customers demand a lot from their seed: yield, quality, winter hardiness and disease resistance. That is why we invest heavily in global R&D and our research plots. Roughly 11% (1 in 9) of DLF’s over 2,000 worldwide employees are involved in breeding programs and product development. For more than 25 years, Leah Brilman, Ph.D, has worked for Seed Research of Oregon and DLF. She currently serves as Director of Research and Technical Services. Brilman’s research interests include turfgrass breeding and genetics as well as the utilization of new cultivars and management changes. Her excellence in the turfgrass industry has been well documented through the many awards she has received, including a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship, the Association of Commercial Plant Breeders Award for Industry Breeder, and being named a fellow in the Crop Science Society of America (CSSA). She has received the Fred V. Grau Turfgrass Science Award from the Turfgrass Science Division of CSSA. DLF Plant Breeding DLF Enterprises The world of DLF
