Up to three separate payments can be made at once using this method.
The most common form of payment is via check. Following sample submission, Paul Koch will email an unofficial invoice to the cooperator. Upon completion of the final research reports, a check in the amount of the invoice can be mailed to one of two places, the OJ Noer Turfgrass Facility or the Department of Plant Pathology. Addresses for both facilities can be found below. Unless otherwise noted, please make each check out to the ‘Department of Plant Pathology.’
