This book is an up-to-date account of the current state of the art and science of turfgrass pest management. It is designed to serve as either a basic text for college students or a comprehensive reference for the professional turfgrass manager, including golf course superintendents, lawn care company personnel, park and cemetery officials, those responsible for maintaining turf on sports fields, airports, and along highways, seed and sod growers, and landscapers. It is a valuable reference to turfgrass consultants, representatives of a variety of agribusinesses that serve the turfgrass industry, county, area, and state Extension (Advisory) personnel and master gardeners involved in the diagnosis and suggestion of control measures for turfgrass pests, officers in state and federal departments of agriculture and regulatory agencies vocational agriculture and biology teachers, garden center personnel, garden writers, and home lawn enthusiasts. The book contains both the technical and practical information necessary for decision- making and the day-to-day operation in all areas of turfgrass culture and management.
"Thomas W. Fermanian" is an Associate Professor of Turfgrass Science in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Fermanian received a Ph.D. in turfgrass science at Oklahoma State University in 1980. He then accepted a position in the department of Horticulture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Fermanian has remained at the University of Illinois for 21 years and is currently an associate professor in the department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences.
Dr. Fermanian has developed several knowledge engineering and qualitative data analysis tools for agriculture, along with computer-based turfgrass management systems. One of these programs, AgAssistant, was used to build the weed i0entification key. In addition to his interests in computing systems and programming, his major work is in lowinput, site-specific management of turfgrass weeds and the use of plant-growth-regulating compounds on fine turfs.
"Malcolm C. Shurtleff" received his B.S. in biology from the University of Rhode Island in 1943 and his M.S. (1950) and Ph.D. (1953) in plant pathology from the University of Minnesota. He is now an Emeritus Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Illinois, where he resided on the faculty from 1961 to 1992. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Dr. Shurtleff taught plant disease control and diseases of turfgrasses and ornamentals and was an extension plant pathologist in Rhode Island, Iowa, and Illinois for 42 years, handling all types of plant disease problems. He is the author of 9 books, 16 encyclopedia articles, 393 magazine articles, and 1,651 extension and research articles on plant diseases.
Dr. Shurtleff has been honored nationally by being accorded Fellow status by the American Phytopathological Society, given the Adventurers in Agricultural Science Award of Distinction by the International Congress of Plant Protection, and the Distinguished Service Award from the USDA.
"Roscoe Randell" is an internationally recognized entomologist who recently retired after more than 35 years of service to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In 1985, Dr. Randell received the Illinois Turfgrass Foundation's Distinguished Service Award.
"Henry T. Wilkinson" has researched and taught turfgrass pathology at the University of Illinois for over 19 years. He has discovered numerous new turf diseases in both cool- and warm-season grasses and has solved pathological problems in many different parts of the world. His main pathological expertise is in soil-borne pathogens of turfgrass. He was raised in Princeton, New Jersey. He graduated from Purdue University (B.S.) and Cornell University (M.S. and Ph.D.) and studied as a postdoctoral fellow at Washington State University.
"Philip L. Nixon" is an Extension Entomologist for the University of Illinois. After being located in the Chicago area from 1980 to 1987, he moved to his present position at the Champaign-Urbana campus. He advises and teaches turfgrass professionals on proper insect pest management and conducts research on turfgrass insects. He also is a coordinator for the Pesticide Applicator Training Program at the University of Illinois. Dr. Nixon has advanced degrees from Southern Illinois University and Kansas State University.
