Abstract/Contents:"TurfFiles is one of the largest turfgrass dedicated, database-driven websites in the southern region. The CENTERE and the North Carolina Turfgrass Foundation fund the site to provide public access to information from NCSU turfgrass scientists. Turffiles has recently undergone significant revisions and developments. Two such additions have been the creation of a web-based decision support system to aid in weed identification of key turf weeds, as well as a management program that supplies cultural and herbicidal control measures. Through the use of an extensive collection of photographs, written descriptions, line drawings, and a modified dichotomous key, users are able to identify weed and turf specimens. The decision aid includes 30 individual species of turf and weedy grasses, 51 broadleaf species, and 6 sedge species. The weed management decision aid displays cultural and chemical weed control options, and provides data from over 320 NCSU herbicide trials that were conducted from 1997 through 2005. Treatments are ranked by level of control, and only registered rates of registered chemicals are displayed. The decision aid also lists environmental restrictions, seasonal rate restrictions, and other precautions and warnings particular to the recommended herbicides. Typical users of the TurfFiles website are turf professionals, homeowners, students, and extension personnel. Recent additions and revisions to the site include the new Google-powered search engine, and the development of e-mailed turf alerts. Future additions and revisions include an extension focused Turf Blog, and a new decision aid that will help users identify turf diseases, as well as changes to the website layout and functionality."
