The demand for assistance for tu rf diagnosis far outstrips the availability of agricultural agents to offer this service. To meet this de mand, thousands of Web Sites have been developed to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of turf grass problems. The two major types are Web Documentation Sites (DS’s) and Expert Systems S ites (ES’s). Documentation Sites consist of a library of relevant documents with a search engi ne. The user simply uses the search engine to find documents which will help with the problem. Ex pert Systems consist of a user interface, a computer readable knowledge base …

Crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] has potential as a reduced-maintenance turfgrass, but seeding rates that assure rapid, uniform establishment are critical for success. 'Roadcrest,' CWG-R, and Chelkar breeding populations of crested wheatgrass, 'Sodar' streambank wheatgrass [Elymus lanceolatus (Scribn. & J.G. Sm.) Gould], and 'Gazelle' tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) were seeded at 0.5, 2.0, and 6.0 lb/1000 ft² in 1999. Plots were irrigated 50 to 60% EToreplacement, with 2 lb of N per 1000 ft² per year, and mowed at 3 inches. Higher seeding rates consistently had higher percent cover ratings than did lower seeding rates in 1999. By …
