Fundamentals of Tropical Turf Management

Turf-grasses are plants of the family Poaceae that form a continuous ground cover that persists under regular mowing and traffic. Turf, on the other hand, is the community of turf-grass plants and the soil attached to their roots. This book presents basic tuft management subjects, applicable to tropical climates in a simple and direct way that can be easily understood by readers from diverse cultures. It is liberally illustrated with line drawings and photographs, to aid understanding of key concepts, processes and relationships presented.
