Abstract/Contents:Turfgrass maintenance costs were 27.5 trillion BTU in Florida in 1974. This value was equal to approximately 1.5% of Florida's fuel expenditures, and 28% of the total energy used in agricultural production in Florida, in 1974. Turf energy costs were calculated based on all expenditures in the maintenance of established plantings, primarily fuel, equipment, fertilizer, water, labor, and pesticides, in that order. Benefits to Florida from turf include a landscape surface compatible with high density activity, erosion control, groundwater replenishment, and possibly reduced heat load in and around buildings. These benefits can be achieved through the use of lower maintenance species, proper management, and the tailoring of new varieties that are better adapted. Extension of present and future turfgrass technology can contribute to the savings in energy and other environmental costs."
