Roadside Turf Management

The average highway driver appreciates attractive roadside landscaping, but is probably unaware that vegetation management is an important component of the highway maintenance program. Roadside vegetation prevents erosion, reduces runoff, and traps chemicals moving from the highway surface to drainage ditches. Landscape architects, DOT personnel, and turf educators will use this scripted PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the major issues of turf and landscape management in the harsh roadside environment. Slide topics include turf quality, characteristics, and seed selection by U.S. region, as well as day-to-day management issues, from turf establishment to mowing.Also available: Golf Course Construction/Renovation and Grow-In - ISBN 0891185593 Turfgrass - ISBN 0891181083The American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America are prominent international scientific societies headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.
