| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the various grass species used on golf courses in Southeastern Asia. Mentions that "the first generation of greens grasses in [the] region were Bermuda grasses, shipped from the United States, including Tiffine, Tifgreen ('328' was released in 1956) and Tifdwarf, the latter arriving in the mid 1960s." Highlights some of the challenges, stating that "Tifdwarf and other members of this famil of turfgrasses have a severe tendency to either become contaminated with off-type plants or to mutate and change their characteristics." Suggests that "ultimately though, the 'perfect grass' does not exist - it all centres [centers] around sound management practice." |
