Abstract/Contents: | "The southern United States of America (USA) encompasses a number of different climatic zones. In general, the eastern USA is humid, with annual rainfall usually exceeding 1200 mm. The southwestern USA, by contrast, is arid. Soils in the southeast often are acid and infertile, whereas those in the west generally have higher base saturation. Temperatures are sufficiently mild throughout the south for the culture of a variety of warm-season turfgrasses. Certain cool-season turfgrasses are used, however, to provide enhanced turf quality during the winter in many parts of the southern USA." |
