Analysis of scientific research funding of turf science in China in the past 20 years

The Situation of Scientific Research Funding of Turf Science was reviewed here based on statistical analysis of fata of the national natural science foundation of China, and research content and trends were analyzed. The developments in the past years were respectively summarized from aspects of turf physiology, resource breeding, and phyletic classification, among others. The state of research on some typical genera of turfgrass such as Lolium, Festuca, and Cynodon were selectively analyzed. The results showed that turf science had developed rapidly in the past decade. Research is mainly focused on turf physiology and resource breeding, and molecular biology methods are used most frequently. However, research development is uneven between turfgrass genera, suggesting room for improvement in the future.
