| Abstract/Contents: | "Previous estimates of cultivated turf (518,427 acres) and home lawn area (308,271 acres) in Arkansas are published. The following article summarizes some information by others and estimates the acreage of turfgrass in Arkansas by use and species. The average lawn in Arkansas is 12,591 ft2, but lawns represent <1% of Arkansas' total land mass. Seventy-two percent of Arkansas lawns are bermudagrass for a total of 221,351 acres of bermudagrass lawns. Zoysiagrass is the next most commonly used turf species for lawns, but only 12.5% or 38,426 acres are used on lawns in Arkansas. Tall fescue is the primary cool-season grass used in the state with 9.6% of the lawns or 29,649 acres across Arkansas. There are approximately 18,032 acres of turf on golf courses in Arkansas with the majority of that area planted in bermudagrass comprising 87% of the areas on Arkansas golf courses. Zoysiagrass comprises 8% of the turf on Arkansas golf courses. Currently, 8,276 acres of sod are produced in Arkansas on its 46 sod farms. At least 200,000 acres of turfgrass are planted on Arkansas roadsides. These values are approximate estimates (not absolute values) of turf areas in Arkansas and should be treated as such and used to guide future turfgrass research and aid in extension program planning." |
