Abstract/Contents:Summarizes recent research which suggests that composts provide "suppression of turf grass diseases, the potential for reducing fungicide and fertilizer inputs, and the effects of composts on the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of soils." Addresses the use of organic amendments in turf grass management, the utilization of composts for turf grass disease control, topdressing amendments, root-zone amendments, and turf covers.
