Crop, Forage & Turfgrass Management, published by the American Society of Agronomy and Crop Science Society of America, has selected “A Review of Precision Management for Golf Course Turfgrass,” by University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Michael Carlson, Roch Gaussoin and Laila Puntel as a 2024 Outstanding Paper in the Applied Turfgrass Science Section.
According to the article, precision turfgrass management is a combination of methods and technologies proposed to increase the resiliency of golf courses by improving input efficiency while maintaining the function and aesthetics of the playing surface. This review described the status of precision management in golf course turfgrass and shed light into the need for research to develop models and decision support tools for precision management of golf course turfgrass.
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture’s Carlson, alumnus and main author, and co-authors and advisers Gaussoin, professor emeritus, and Puntel, adjunct, were honored at the ASA, CSSA, and Soil Science Society of America International Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 10-13.
This annual award is given to top papers published within the last few years. After careful consideration by the CFTM Editorial Board, the article was selected based on its advanced knowledge in the profession, effectiveness of communication, methodology, originality, and impact.
“CFTM is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal covering all aspects of applied crop, forage and grazinglands, and turfgrass management. The journal serves the professions related to the management of crops, forages and grazinglands, and turfgrass by publishing research, briefs, reviews, perspectives, and diagnostic and management guides that are beneficial to researchers, practitioners, educators, and industry representatives.”
The awards were also announced in the CSA news in October. CSA News is the official magazine for tri-society members featuring research highlights; member news, science policy and meetings news; and career and education information.
