Abstract/Contents:Discusses establishment and growth of fine turfgrasses. States that "we...need to minimise the level of disturbance to favour the finer grasses and use stress as a beneficial selection pressure to get rid of the annual meadow-grass." Describes the role of the greenkeeper in influencing the turfgrass environment. States that "this influence comes in the form of all greenkeeping treatments which exerts their own particular pressure on the environment." Concludes that "the sward composition simply reflects the environmental pressures being placed upon it. If you want the finer grasses then you have to create the correct environment. Essentially, all you have to do is move the environment away from high productivity total disturbance, to one more settled with occasional controlled beneficial stress."
