Although the origin of lawns in China was very early, about the description of lawns in the literature of the Book of Songs, however, the modern lawn industry as a sign of social development was only born in the United States in the latter part of the Second World War. The rise of China is after the reform and opening up. Although it has been late in developing China, it has achieved gratifying achievements by taking advantage of the rapid rise of China's economy and its strong development with the trend of breaking the ball and surpassing the world level. The establishment of a lawn has promoted the development of lawn science, lawn technology and turf industry.
The turf industry is a social industry. It is based on a complete turfgrass science theory: the turf industry is an applied industry, and it should of course use advanced turf technology as a means of production; the turf industry is an economic industry, then it should follow the market. Economic laws, therefore, turf industry is a comprehensive industry that involves scientific theory, production technology, and business rules. It involves all aspects of various fields, and is relatively complex and huge.
As the turf industry directly serves the society and is directly related to people’s material civilization and spiritual civilization, the fields involved are expanding day by day, the turf science is increasingly diversified, and the discipline gradually becomes more agricultural, non-agricultural and similar due to the integration of many types of turfgrass. Non-rational, agri-industry combination, multiple development trends. Turf engineering, which is a combination of lawn theory and engineering technology, is a strong testimony.
The use, research and industrialization of lawns has a long history. According to the history of lawn development, the development of the world's lawns can be attributed to the "original turf (functioning on the origin of humanity), a garden lawn (beautiful landscaping function, and urban construction and property). Simultaneously developed) an outdoor sports lawn (using sports functions, synchronized with the development of the sports industry), an ecological lawn (playing ecological functions, and the simultaneous development of the environmental protection industry) "four major stages, each reflecting the development of turf quality. As early as in the garden turf stage, humans began to emphasize the artificial construction of lawn and garden landscapes, emphasizing the configuration and unification of gardens such as trees, shrubs, plants, small buildings, main buildings, and supporting facilities, resulting in planning and design, focusing on engineering and technical means. The use of construction projects has led to the development of turfgrass projects, laying the foundation for the birth of modern turfgrass projects.
The turf project is a facility completed through turf construction. It is a systematic project and should follow the rules of system engineering. It should be an orderly and bounded operation. In the turf construction, there should be a clear quantitative and qualitative indicators, and use related product grade standards (quality indicators), construction capabilities and reputation (technical indicators), and effect standards (economic indicators) to constrain and evaluate. Follow the relevant regulations (turf establishment regulations, lawn maintenance regulations) for orderly construction. Through the turfgrass engineering supervision over the entire process of turfgrass construction supervision, the project will be carried out on time, quality, and orderly, and through completion acceptance, the completed project will be comprehensively evaluated and graded to achieve scientific management and regulation of turfgrass construction.
The turf project is a new understanding of the traditional turf establishment and management activities in the process of developing the turf industry. It is a turf construction project based on systematic theory and engineering methods to realize living plants. The science of its construction and maintenance is a feature and cornerstone of the modern lawn industry and an inevitable result of modern lawn science and development.
