Abstract/Contents:Overviews an "intensive six-day institute entitled Understanding our Agronomic Role held March 4-9, 1973 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on the Monterey Peninsula." Summarizes Dr. Jack Paul of the University of California Davis' two lectures on characterizing "non-wettable spots on golf greens as small areas of greens soil that dries powder dry in a short period of time and then is extremely difficult to rewet because of an unknown chemical leached from the thatch." Mentions that "displays were set up during the week to illustrate material given in the lectures. They included publications and text books, 25 well clipped grass varieties and species, 16 batches of fertilizer materials and containers of different sand particle sizes."
