Advances in abiotic stress management in turfgrass

Chapter synopsis:

Abiotic stresses of turfgrasses involve any environmental condition which limits plant growth, turfgrass quality, and system functionality. Commonly observed abiotic stresses in turfgrass systems include drought, high temperature, low temperature, low irradiance, traffic, salinity, and chemical phytotoxicity. Managing abiotic stresses with reduced irrigation, fertilizer, energy, and pesticides has become critical to the sustainability of the turfgrass industry. In this chapter, we aim to describe the current literature related to abiotic stress management in turfgrasses with an emphasis on sustainability of turfgrass systems. To this end, we have organized the discussion into four approaches to sustainable abiotic stress management: 1) managing growth, 2) moderating the environment, 3) enhancing stress tolerance, and 4) masking stress response.
