International Turfgrass Society
Exchanging Turfgrass Knowledge - Worldwide
The International Turfgrass Society (ITS) is a not-for-profit
scientific organization established in 1969 to encourage research
and education in turfgrass science, and to promote personal
communication among the international community of turfgrass
researchers by organizing international conferences to present
turfgrass research and information on all phases of turfgrass
production and use. To this end, International Turfgrass Research
Conferences (ITRC) are held at 4-year intervals. The hosts for
past conferences have been England, The United States (twice), Germany, Canada
(twice), France, Japan and Australia. The next ITRC will be held
in Wales, United Kingdom in July, 2005. A refereed Journal of turfgrass
research papers is published in conjunction with each conference.
