Applied Turfgrass Physiology
This introductory-level course teaches turfgrass physiology from the basics to application on the golf course. The course begins with an overview of turfgrass physiology, including carbohydrate metabolism, plant water balance and plant nutrition. It then progresses through the effects of environmental stresses, such as freezing, drought and shade on turfgrass; then proceeds to the effects of mowing, irrigation, fertilization, cultivation practices and use of plant growth regulators on turfgrass.
This course features interactive learning reviews which provide instant feedback and reinforce learning. Images and illustrations are used to explain complex subject matter.
Course Modules
This course contains seven chapters, each featuring a chapter outline, learning objectives, reading materials, interactive reviews, and photos and illustrations. There’s no need to complete the course in one-sitting. You work independently and progress to the next chapter when you’re ready.
