THE TURF MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR HIGHWAYS, ESPECIALLY MOWING AND HERBICIDE METHODS, ARE REVIEWED AND COMPARED. AN EFFECTIVE ROADSIDE TURF MANAGEMENT PROGRAM HAS BEEN PROPOSED. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF ZONING THE RIGHT OF WAY INTO MOW AND NON-MOW AREAS, USING HERBICIDES AS A SUPPLEMENTARY TOOL TO MOWING FOR ELIMINATING WEEDS AND ENCOURAGING DESIRABLE GRASSES, APPLYING STERILANTS TO ELIMINATE VEGETATION AND THE NEED FOR HARD MOWING AROUND POSTS AND UNDER GUARDRAILS, AND EMPLOYING EQUIPMENT BEST SUITED TO THE CHARACTER OF THE ROADSIDE AREA.
