States that "many problems associated with summer atmospheric stresses can be minimized by turfgrass cultural practics that ensure maximum root development." Provides a list of cultural practices that will maximize root growth and reduce the effects of summer stress. Concludes that "adjustment of cultural practices to maximize root growth and development results in a turf with much better potential to survive summer stresses. The importance of roots in relation to turfgrass culture must not be overlooked by turf managers. Warm-season grasses generally possess more extensive root systems than do cool-season turfgrasses. Because of the very close mowing height, turfgrasses growing on putting greens possess a much better root system."
