Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The overall objectives of research proposed by this task force are to provide alternative ways to use trees, shrubs, ornamentals, turf, bulbs, cut flowers, foliage, and other plants for: 1. Improving and maintaining the physical and esthetic qualities of the human environment in both urban and rural areas; 2. Protecting man, animals, and property from excessive heat, cold, light, wind, noise, snow, dust, and other suspended matter; 3. Managing urban forested lands and shelterbelts for multiple purposes. Within each of the three major headings under Research Program (Production, Establishment and Maintenance, and Marketing), attention is given to generalized commodity groupings: (1) Turf and ground covers (2) Trees (3) Woody and herbaceous perennials, and bulbs (4) Cut flowers, greens, pot plants, bedding plants, and foliage plants.
