Sports Turf Management in the Transition Zone
by Michael Goatley, Shawn Askew, Erik Ervin, David McCall, Bob Studholme, Pete Schultz, and Brandon Horvath

• The mid-Atlantic transition zone, with its highly variable climate, presents sports turf managers with unique challenges. This book assists in the care of multipurpose sports fields – whether for soccer, football, baseball, or any other sport – by addressing those challenges with great organization and clarity.

• The concepts featured therein have been developed using extensive turfgrass research as well as the field experience of qualified sports turf managers. Goatley et al. carefully outline every aspect of field management, including design principles, grass species selection, seeding and watering schedules, aesthetics, and synthetic fields. Many charts and color photographs complete this comprehensive guide, providing further clarity and increased ease of understanding for turf managers of all levels of experience.

• The proceeds from sale of this book will go toward funding research that will benefit turf managers. Available only from the Virginia Sports Turf Manager’s Association or Pocahontas Press.
