| Abstract/Contents: | "In the spring of 2002 University of Wisconsin scientists initiated a comprehensive study to investigate the effectiveness of abrasive aggregates for potential suppression of earthworm casting production in low-cut golf course turf when applied as a topdressing amendment. Earthworms are beneficial to the soil, but on golf courses the castings they form are a nuisance. Because earthworms are beneficial organisms, no pesticide is registered or labeled for their control in the United States. Abrasive aggregates applied as topdressing reduce earthworm activity to tolerable levels, but their efficacy declines over time." |
