| Abstract/Contents: | "In 1961, a turf program was established at the Fort Lauderdale Research Station to address turf management problems related to South Florida's subtropical climate, unique soils, and expanding urban growth. In conjuction with the turf program at UF, Gainesville, the Ft. Lauderdale turf program provides a leadership role to the nearly one billion dollar commercial industry managing Florida's 800,000 hectares of turf. This industry includes approximately 800 golf courses, 40,000 acres in sod production, and employs thousands of persons maintaining Florida lawns. The South Florida program has evolved to include six faculty members with major turf responsibilities in research, extension, and education. Current projects include: turf breeding, fertility, efficient management and water use practices, nematode control, biocontrol of mole crickets, and turf pathology. In 1985, an undergraduate education program was initiated with courses in turf culture and allied agronomic and horticultural areas." |
