| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of species selection in establishing healthy turf, emphasizing that "the use of a turfgrass species or variety that is not well adapted to a site will result in a weak, thin, and unattractive turf that is subject to soil erosion and weed encroachment." Recommends seeding three to five cultivars to diversify a seedbed, and urges proper maintenance practices even on disease-resistant grass varieties. Outlines the characteristics and adaptability of various types of Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and perennial ryegrass, listing the prominent cultivars of each species. |
