Abstract/Contents:"Increasing restrictions on the use of plant protection products in many EU Member States (e.g. EU Plant Products Directive 91/414/EEC) has led to concerns over how diseases will be managed in the future. 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 diseases in Europe has not been collated to determine what work has been done and subsequently what further work is required. Therefore, existing research on the most important diseases 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 diseases. However, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to completely control diseases 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"
