Turfgrass management is the intentional care for low canopies of grass(es), family Poaceae. At the minimum, such care must involve mowing or cutting of leaf blades, usually with mechanical equipment. The possible purposes and benefits of turfgrass management may be recreation, esthetic appearance of the landscape, safety, evaporative cooling, conservation of soil or water, fire protection, and sanitation. If the purpose for caring for a grass canopy is a traditional agricultural product such as (1) feed, (2) fiber, or (3) food, then the appropriate category would be (1) Pastures and Forages, (2) Fiber Crops, or (3) Crops.Although turfgrass management originated in Japan by the year 800 A.D., modern turfgrass management had cultural influences from the northern Europe, e.g., the Commons of the British Isles, and mid 1800s eastern North America. Modern turfgrass management typically involves products and equipment only available late in the industrial revolution, such as synthetic pesticides, irrigation pipes, and fertilizers.
Turfgrass Management as a subcategory of Science: Agriculture involves the systematic observation of the growth and environmental relationships of turfgrass species. The purpose of such observation is the development of ideas on the relationship of care practices to the purposes and benefits of turfgrass. In contrast, the actual practice of turfgrass management is a category of business, and is represented by multiple categories under Business: Industries as well as Home: Gardens: Lawns and Business: Organizations: Trade Associations: Agriculture: Turfgrass.
