| Abstract/Contents: | "Substantial amounts of insecticides are used on turfgrasses in the United states to prevent or alleviate insect damage. Demand for attractive lawns, quality golf courses, and safe, playable athletic fields remains high, but public and legislative scrutiny of pesticides and restriction on their usage are changing the management of insect pests. This paper explores some of the hurdles to reducing insecticide usage on turfgrass and reviews progress in developing alternative technologies and management approaches. High aesthetic standards, the irregularity of pest outbreaks, issues of risk management and economics, registration of new preventive insecticides, and scarcity of reliable alternatives are among the reasons for the prevalence of chemical control. Prospects for suppressing insect pests via cultural control, resistant grasses, conservation of natural enemies, and target-selective biological or chemical insecticides are discussed. Some approaches for modifying public expectations that provide the necessary leeway for reduced chemical inputs are suggested." |
