Biology and Integrated Management of Turfgrass Diseases

Biology and Integrated Management of Turfgrass Diseases (N/A) by Gary W. Beehag, Nathan R. Walker, Percy T.W. Wong, and Jyri Kaapro offers turf professionals a clear, science-backed roadmap for diagnosing and managing disease across lawns, sports fields, and golf courses.

Begin with a compelling overview of disease biology: concise explanations of pathogen life cycles, symptom recognition, and environmental drivers that make turf vulnerable. Practical diagnostic guidance helps groundskeepers and turf managers identify fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and abiotic disorders quickly—minimizing downtime and visual damage.

Delve into integrated management strategies that combine cultural practices, resistant cultivars, monitoring, and judicious chemical and biological controls. Emphasis on preventive maintenance—mowing, irrigation, aeration, and soil health—keeps turf resilient while reducing reliance on fungicides. Case studies from temperate and subtropical regions illustrate how techniques adapt across North America, Europe, Australia, and other climates, making the guidance globally relevant.

This title is engineered for turfgrass scientists, golf course superintendents, landscapers, grounds crews, and students seeking applied knowledge that delivers results. Expect actionable checklists, decision-making frameworks, and clear explanations that translate research into everyday practice.

Invest in a resource that improves turf health, lowers long-term costs, and supports sustainable, performance-driven management. For professionals tasked with maintaining high-quality turf in diverse geographic conditions, this book is an essential, trusted reference—practical, authoritative, and geared toward measurable improvement.
