Abstract/Contents: | "The turf research program has been confined to those problems which are most pressing and which we are best equipped to study from the standpoint of location and facilities. The investigations fall into three main groups: (1) improvement of the turf grasses by breeding and selection for superior types, (2) study of soil factors affecting turf growth, such as physical condition and fertility, and (3) investigation of specialized maintenance problems, such as methods of turf renovating, weed eradication and control of disease. |
