Reviews

I use it all the time-it's comprehensible-a good book for practitioners in the golf course industry (superintendents). -Pat Sanders, Penn State University Management of Turfgrass Diseases, 2nd Edition is a completely revised and update version. It provides practical, easy-to-follow solutions to everyday problems. -T. McLeod, New Zealand Turf Culture Institute Although this book has been written and published in the USA it provides examples from Europe, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan, giving it an international scope that is useful to turf managers all over the world. -T. McLeod, New Zealand Turf Culture Institute I was impressed by the practical nature of this book. It is a very handy field guide reference for the turf manager who wants a base understanding of the symptoms, control and management of turf diseases. -T. McLeod, New Zealand Turf Culture Institute
