| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how kikuyugrass, introduced as an erosion control grass, has spread "from the Mexican border to the Mendocino coast on its own." Explains that "the grasses' ability to adapt and flourish in the California climate has made them undesirable, but times are changing." Presents information on the origin of AZ-1 kikuyugrass and gives examples of golf courses where AZ-1 has been used successfully. Other information is presented, including kikuyugrass' ability to repel Red Imported Fire Ant and seeding tips. |
