چکیده
All plants have relationships and associations with animals, invertebrates, other plants, and microbes. This relationship or symbiosis can be beneficial, antagonistic or neither. Turf diseases are a good example of an antagonistic association and conversely, mycorrhizal fungi are a classic example of a beneficial relationship. In this article I want to introduce, or at least review a symbiosis which may be new to you; a clandestine microbe the aboveground fungal-endophyte. Greenkeeping, or sports turf management, is a skill requiring specialist training, education and an understanding of the balance between ecology, horticulture and agriculture. I want to discuss how microscopic fungi could potentially open up a new area of knowledge and broaden the understanding and fusion between ecology and sports turf. This area of microbe-interaction is already making progress in crop biotechnology and we are starting to see some early marketing for endophyte-infected seeds for the sports turf market already. The truth is this type of microbeinteraction has been applied and used in turf and grassland management in other countries such as New Zealand for many years.
