Abstract/Contents: | Defines turfgrass quality as "the degree to which turf confroms to an agreed standard that is a composite of uniformity, shoot density, leaf texture, growth habit, smoothness and color." Describes a National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) survey "to identify the standards employed by NTEP-sponsored university turfgrass scientists to visually evaluate turf quality." States that "over a 17-month period, investigators visited 12 NTEP trial sites and asked seven questions of either the principal investigator (the person in charge of the research) or the principal rater (the person who made the visual turf evaluations) at each site." |
