Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes the attempts in China to plant turfgrasses in places where lawns were removed during the communist period. States that the push for revegetation stems from the Chinese belief that "the lack of green vegetative cover and its associated living biological ecosystem of antagonists to the disease-causing bacterial and viral organisms had resulted in a major increase in disease-causing organisms, which were readily disseminated by the windblown dust particles." |
