Proceedings of the Third International Turfgrass Research Conference

By: Beard, James B.

The future quality of life of man on this earth would be bleak without the aesthetic and functional contributions of turfs and ornamental plants. Man has chosen to cultivate turfgrasses for his benefit since the 13th century when turfs, as we know them today, started to evolve in England. The culture of turfs has increased steadily during the past four centuries in the industrialized countries of the world. The continuing effort to seek an improved quality of life is one that people will not readily abandon. In fact, the proper use of plants in environmental manipulation is an important aspect that is receiving greater attention than ever before. The willingness to invest time and money in maintaining turfs in order to provide a more favorable environment for human activities is evidence that turfs are an important aspect in a desirable quality of life.
