Abstract/Contents: | Explores the future of mowing with the "slow-grow" turfgrass development. States that "mowing accomplishes a lot more than cutting turf." Mentions that mowing cleans up debris, leaves tire tracks and striping, and allows turf to recover from injury. Discusses the different kinds of mower improvements and their costs. Predicts that "the powerful aesthetic appeal of a lush, green, freshly mowed sward ensures that this is likely to remain the case for the forseeable future." |
