| Abstract/Contents: | "Turf can be defined as permanent grassland that consists mainly of perennial grass species and is not used agriculturally. In Austria about 6% of the federal territory is covered with turf in the broadest sense. Skiing, golf and hiking tourism basically depend on the beautiful appeal of the turf. Research is needed to meet the requirements of touristic facilities, as well as the increasing expectations of society on environmental protection and the requirements of turf managers and producers. Discussions with turf providers, managers and users resulted in the following three main research areas and needs for Austria: (i) turf variety testing, (ii) water and pest management, (iii) environmental quality. Turf variety testing in this context means the establishment of a testing system subsequent to that in Germany, which operates with growth trials for the use of varieties for turf. To meet site-specific turf water requirements in Austria, the optimization of management practices that consider mowing height and frequency, variety selection and nutrient regime is the priority research need. The main research area regarding pest management should be the pathogen-host-environment interactions of the two main fungi (stem rust, snow mould). As management of turf in urban areas can have implications for natural resource conservation, research on input-use-efficiency followed by developing site- and lawn-specific guidelines that maximize environmental benefits is needed." |
