| Abstract/Contents: | Illustrates the principals of Taoism as applied to turfgrass. Describes the seven Tao principles of turf and the Tao of turf weed control which places heavy emphasis on anticipating possible weed outbreaks before they emerge. Cites that turfgrass professionals "use powerful tools such as herbicides, but often this is as much to prevent future problems as to correct existing problems, empowering the life of turfgrass." |
