| Abstract/Contents: | Outlines turf used for rugby fields, focusing on vegetative cover, distinctive features, and available species. States that "maintaining a complete canopy vegetation over the soil surface" depends on "intensity of play", "density of cover", "wetness of soil", and "type of plant used." Describes the drainage, grading, preparation, and sowing involved with the establishment of rugby grounds. Classifies rugby grounds into three categories according to their size and the population of their surrounding cities. Discusses the manurial treatment, growth control, ground repair, spring renovation, and summer maintenance involved with the management of rugby grounds. |
