Abstract/Contents: | Announces the development of Transvaal doub, a fine-leafed turfgrass, during the late 1970s and early 1980s in New Zealand. Details the history of the turf's use, stating that "in 1972 this new species 'just appeared' in the Stoke area, Nelson, and was noticed by Mr. G. R. Wastney...as a possible useful plant." Describes the species' physical characteristics, explaining that it "has similar characteristics to the better known Indian doub, the main difference being in its much finer leaf." Discusses management factors related to the turf and mentions its potential use on tennis courts. |
