Book Addresses Salinity Management of Turfgrass Sites

摘要

Griffin, Georgia (January 4, 2012)--When a turfgrass site is repeatedly irrigated with saline irrigation water, salinity management is the most complex abiotic stress management issue that the turfgrass manager will confront. A book written by Dr. Robert N. Carrow (Professor, University of Georgia) and Dr. Ron R. Duncan (formerly of UGA-retired Professor, private consultant) provides in-depth management advice for turfgrass managers of saline and sodic soils. In the 464 page book published September,2011, est Management Practices for Saline and Sodic Turfgrass Soils: Assessment and Reclamation the authors apply the BMPs concept to salinity management. The BMP approach is considered the gold-standard management model for any individual environmentalissue since it is a whole ecosystem (holistic) and science-based plan that allows all possible management options to be considered and implemented on a site-specific basis.
