| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses drought stress in Michigan, explaining that "there is a strong commercial, public, and domestic demand for attractive green turf throughout the year, but heavy use of irrigation and fertilizer to keep turfgrass green is environmentally unacceptable because it is wasteful of water and causes pollution by water run-off." Profiles research conducted "to develop new turfgrass cultivars with better drought tolerance traits of maintaining green turf cover during periods of sub-optimal water availability and enhance capability for rapid recovery following drought." Explains that "the ultimate goal is to make the turfgrass system more environmentally friendly and sustainable." |
