| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential recreational uses for kikuyu grass. Briefly describes the grass' history, stating that it "was introduced into New Zealand at a later stage than the majority of the common temperate and sub-tropical species that have...[colonized its] farmlands and recreation areas." Provides tips for identifying kikuyu grass, explaining that it "has a pointed tip, while buffalo grass leaves are prow-shaped or blunt." Focuses on the grass' ability to spread vegetatively. Highlights that it may not require high fertility. States that "in the United States and Mexico there are now [in 1979] many courses where kikuyu grass fairways are maintained without serious problems." |
