Mowing is one of the most important cultural practices for the maintenance of a healthy lawn. This publication serves as a practical guide for homeowners and lawn care professionals, providing information on effectively implementing autonomous and robotic mowing technologies on lawns. Proper mowing height and intervals increase turfgrass density, leading to a healthier turf that is more competitive against weeds, diseases, and insects. Traditional mowing is generally performed with a gasoline engine or corded electric-powered lawn mowers. More recently, the use of battery-powered lawn mowers is increasing. Similarly, autonomous or “robotic” mowers have been gaining popularity for their various benefits.
