| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles centipedegrass, "a light-green, sod-forming turfgrass that requires little nitrogen fertilization...and relatively low-maintenance."

Also discusses possible disadvantages, including "poor low-temperature hardiness....susceptibility to nematodes and very poor tolerance to alkaline soils."
