Also included is a comprehensive review of the latest information on how irrigation, mowing, fertilization, cultivation, and plant growth regulators and biostimulants affect turfgrass response to stresses and pests.

In a reader-friendly format, Applied Turfgrass Science and Physiology illustrates topics with research results from peer-reviewed scientific journals to provide insight into how principles and techniques work in real-world practice. Case studies help reinforce material for students seeking to advance their careers.
