Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "It is readily apparent that fungicids cause nontarget effects to occur in turfgrasses. In addition to direct effects, each resultant chemical and biological change may cause secondary, tertiary, and other changes until the entire management program becomes improved or hidered by the use of certain pesticides. The likelihood for this to happen with fungicides is, however, restricted to those areas that are highly maintained. Under low levels of management, it is probable that nontarget effects will be so slight as to be undetectable. In practice, putting greens and bowling greens are more subject to interactions of chemicals and management practices than any other types of turf. Existing knowledge of nontarget effects should, however, be incorporated into the original decision-making process. If, for instance, four fungicides were known to be almost equally effective against a target pathogen but two were much more likely to increase thatchiness, this information could be used to avoid long-term increases in the costs of managing the golf course. Management costs that could persist for many years may very well over-ride the immediate differences in costs for the products and their application." |
