| Abstract/Contents: | "Grasses are the most important agricultural plants in the world. In addition to providing a wide variety of food, they help stabilize various environments, furnish a large group of ornamental grasses for horticultural uses, and provide the major plants used as turf in lawns, parks, sports fields and golf courses. Golf course in the United States impact the economy at an estimated $20 billion each year. More important, turfgrasses provide soil erosion control, dust stabilization, heat dissipation, noise abatement, air pollution control, safety to competitive athletic participants, and increased property values. They are an integral component of the landscape."
