Abstract/Contents:Discusses the new varieties of turfgrass species that breeders are currently working on. States that "more turfgrasses remain to be discovered", but "there just aren't that many unexploited species that exhibit the qualities prized in high-quality turf." Addresses the critical needs for new grasses such as environment tolerances. Discusses the enbironmental tolerances that define the niches which turfgrass breeders seek to fill, such as salinity and shade. Discusses overseeding niche, increased use of poa grasses, and low-maintenance grasses.
