Turfgrass is a complex plant that must fulfill a wide range of aesthetic, functional, and environmental requirements, while also adapting to the increasing threat of abiotic and biotic stresses caused by climate change. Moreover, the turfgrass industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint and adopt more sustainable maintenance practices that utilize and optimize fewer agronomic-related resources.

Sustainable turfgrass management is a comprehensive summary of recent research that addresses these challenges and identifies potential mitigation strategies to reduce the sector's contribution to climate change. The book highlights developments in breeding for improved cultivars of turfgrass with enhanced abiotic and biotic stress responses, as well as climate resilience.

In its extensive exploration of turfgrass physiology, breeding, and cultivation, the book showcases how the turfgrass industry can adopt more sustainable management practices and reduce its environmental impact. By understanding the underlying principles of turfgrass growth and development, professionals can develop effective management strategies that minimize the use of resources, promote biodiversity, and enhance the overall sustainability of turfgrass systems.

One key area of focus in sustainable turfgrass management is the reduction of fertilizer use and water conservation. Turfgrass requires significant amounts of nutrients and water to maintain its health and appearance, and excessive use of these resources can have negative impacts on the environment, including soil erosion, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. By implementing practices such as precision irrigation, nutrient management, and soil testing, professionals can optimize the use of resources and reduce the environmental impact of turfgrass maintenance.

Another important aspect of sustainable turfgrass management is the promotion of biodiversity. Turfgrass systems can provide habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species, and by implementing practices that promote biodiversity, professionals can enhance the overall health and resilience of the turfgrass ecosystem. This can include the use of native plant species, the incorporation of organic matter into the soil, and the implementation of wildlife-friendly management practices such as mowing patterns and fertilization schedules.

In addition to promoting biodiversity and reducing resource use, sustainable turfgrass management also emphasizes the importance of climate resilience. Climate change is causing a range of changes in the environment, including increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, changes in precipitation patterns, and shifts in temperature and humidity. By developing cultivars of turfgrass that are more resilient to these changes, professionals can help to protect turfgrass systems from damage and maintain their functionality in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Breeding for improved cultivars of turfgrass with enhanced abiotic and biotic stress responses is another important area of research in sustainable turfgrass management. Abiotic stress refers to the physical and chemical factors that can harm turf.

In conclusion, sustainable turfgrass management is a critical area of research and practice that must be addressed to promote the long-term sustainability of turfgrass systems. By understanding the complex physiology, breeding, and cultivation of turf
