"The 3 E's of Sustainability (Environment, Economics, Ethical-Social Impacts) in all their forms continue to underpin the values and goals of professional turf managers across the globe who strive to build and maintain healthy, long-term communities where parks, lawns, sports fields and golf course turfs are the dominant vegetation. As global populations grow, annual climate vagaries increase, and biotic and abiotic plant stresses become more uncertain it is now more important than ever to understand how factors like species selection, edaphic conditions and cultural management decisions influence the ecology and persistence of managed turf systems. In this comprehensive book, Dr. Mike Fidanza has compiled industry leading turf experts who provide relevant, fact-based insights across an array of key topics to help turf managers meet their modern management goals."(Dr Cale Bigelow, Professor of Turf Science and Ecology, Purdue University, USA)
Turfgrass is required to meet a challenging range of aesthetic, functional and environmental requirements, whilst also adapting to the threat of abiotic and biotic stresses which are being accentuated by climate change. The turfgrass industry is also facing increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact and advance more sustainable maintenance practices that utilise and/or optimise fewer agronomic-related resources.
Achieving sustainable turfgrass management summarises the wealth of recent research that addresses these challenges, whilst also identifying potential mitigation strategies to reduce the sector's contribution to climate change, such as reduced fertilizer use and water conservation. This collection also highlights developments in breeding for improved cultivars of turfgrass with enhanced abiotic and biotic stress responses, as well as climate resilience.
In its extensive exploration of turfgrass physiology, breeding and cultivation, the book showcases how the turfgrass industry can adopt more sustainable management practices and reduce its environmental impact.
Edited by a world-renowned expert on turfgrass ecology, Achieving sustainable turfgrass management will be a standard reference work for university and other researchers in plant and soil science, growers and retailers of turfgrass, professional sport teams and bodies, as well as government and other private sector agencies overseeing the adoption of more sustainable agricultural practices.
Dr Michael Fidanza is Professor of Plant and Soil Science at Penn State University, USA. He is former Editor-in-Chief of the International Turfgrass Society Research Journal. Professor Fidanza has received a number of awards for outstanding teaching and research and has played an active role in the Crop Science Society of America and the Soil Science Society of America, as well as the American Society of Agronomy which has elected him as a Fellow. He is internationally-renowned for his research on turfgrass ecology, diseases and plant protection.
