| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of biological strategies on turf as a way to control pests in comparison to the use of turfgrass pesticides. Explains "how other management practices affect the efficacy of biological controls." Presents a study "to examine the impacts of high label rates of various chemical pesticides on the efficacy of compost-amended topdressing for the suppression of Brown Patch and Dollar Spot diseases on creeping bentgrass putting greens." Results includes that "each of the insecticides and herbicides tested significantly enhanced Brown patch disease." Concludes the "the use of biological approaches to turfgrass management is likely to increase as the emphasis in nonchemical and environmentally-friendly production practices increases." Presents a study to "determine the direct toxicity of selected herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides to various turfgrass pathogens so that laboratory and field results may be properly interpreted." Results of this study include that it is not clear "what toxicity might exist with insecticides and herbicides against pythium species." Concludes that "those materials least toxic to the largest pathogens will be tested further in laboratory and field trials. Announces a study that will be conducted to examine "the impacts of high label rates of various chemical pesticides on the efficacy of various microbial inoculants and compost amendments for the suppression of Pythium damping off and root rot caused by Pythium graminicola, Brown Patch caused by Rhizoctonia solani, and Dollar Spot caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa." Announces another experiment to evaluate "turfgrass research plots as well as on golf course fairways, the efficacy of selected compost amendments and microbial inoculants when oversprayed with selected chemical pesticides." |
