Turfgrass Culture – a Technical Handbook

Sixteen years ago, Semillas Fitó led the way with its publication of the first Culture technical Guide specifically targeting turfgrass culture in Southern Europe. Interest in this subject is greater than ever because of the challenges faced by turfgrass management are even more significant, and this new edition is more extensive and includes the latest information.

Climate change is now more real than ever, resulting in irrigation water shortages, higher irrigation costs and the need to use recycled water. Sustainability is a necessity with any type of turfgrass.

Pesticides have also improved and there are now more approved pest and disease control products than ever.

The book includes sections on the botanical identification of turf species; turfgrass selection; the construction of natural turf sports fields including golf; nutrition; irrigation; maintenance; diseases; insects; weeds; and growth regulators.
