| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Dr. Houston Couch, plant pathologist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, the recipient of the 2003 Green Section Award. Overviews Couch's career and accomplishments, including authoring the first comprehensive turfgrass pathology textbook, Diseases of Turfgrasses, and publishing more than 150 scientific papers. States that "in addition to his research and teaching, he has developed excellent educational tools, including a seasonal computer bulletin board and disease forecasting and control service for turfgrass managers and the general public." Dick Fisher, golf course superintendent at Farmington Country Club, Virginia, states that "I first met Dr. Couch as a freshman at Virginia Tech in 1965. He was teaching plant pathology then, and he is still teaching me plant pathology. The students feared his class because you were expected to learn the subject without any hand-holding on his part...In reality, he has been holding our hands for the last 35 years to good effect." |
