Abstract/Contents:Defines turfgrasses as "grasses that are low growing, have a high shoot density and a finer leaf texture." Suggests that "increasing mowing height within the mowing height range of adaptation for a turf species promotes greater rooting, greater turf vigor and a better tolerance of environmental and pest stresses." Also suggests that "scalping at any time during the year will severely injure [the] turf stand, especially during periods of environmental stress." Describes the influence of grass type on mowing quality, clipping removal, and other ways mowing affects turf stand quality.
