Abstract/Contents:Predicts future characteristics of the sports turf industry in the 21st century, including: better trained sports turf managers; new and improved turfgrass cultivars; improved rootzone mixes and field drainage; electronic sensing of rootzone moisture, temperature and oxygen; improved nutrition through fertilizer formulation, fertigation, tissue and soil testing; better control of turf density and wear through laser mowing and growth regulators; new aerification techniques; and larger budgets. Briefly summarizes each of these predictions.
