| Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "plant breeders assist turf managers by developing turfgrasses with improved quality, greater stress resistance, and reduced inputs. Turfgrass breeding programs have produced new grasses to choose from, but none of these grasses is bulletproof." Discusses the benefits and challenges of managing ultradwarf bermudagrasses and high density bentgrasses in golf greens. Profiles seashore paspalum, again focusing on the benefits and challenges of maintaining this type of turf. Discusses the pros and cons of maintaining zoysiagrass on golf fairways. |
