Abstract
Abstract Of the 5000 grass species identified worldwide, more than 1400 may be found in the United States (17). The potential benefits of interplantings in horticultural crops justifies the effort to identify the most appropriate grasses for this practice. Grass interplantings are used to reduce erosion, increase water infiltration into the soil, improve traffic-carrying ability, improve soil structure, limit weed invasion, moderate soil temperatures, and reduce soil contamination of crops. Disadvantages in using grasses for interplantings include increased competition for water and nutrients, harborage of pests, and expense of establishment and maintenance.
