| Abstract/Contents: | "Increasing restrictions on the use of plant protection products in many EU Member States has led to concerns over how pests will be managed on golf courses (e.g. EU Plant Products Directive 91/414/EEC). Golfers will still crave perfectly manicured, blemish free putting surfaces that may be difficult to maintain without pesticide input. However, much of the research into the most important pests in Europe has not been collated to determine what work has been done and so what further work is required. Therefore, existing research on the most important pests affecting European golf courses was reviewed. The aims of this work are to identify gaps in current knowledge and, in so doing, provide information to aid in the prioritisation of future research. Overall it is concluded that traditional greenkeeping could reduce the severity of damage caused by many pests. However, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to completely control pests in the absence of plant protection products and still maintain excellent year-round turf surfaces. When severe problems occur (and until reliable alternatives are widely available) plant protection products may be required to maintain turf surfaces at acceptable levels" |
