| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly discusses research "to evaluate the effectiveness of several non-pesticide management strategies for suppression of earthworm casts on golf course turf." States that "two field studies, 2002-03, were conducted on golf course fairways where an endemic population of earthworms occurred." Results indicate that "Black Jack (processed coal slag) was statistically similar to a convention fungicide and insecticide in suppressing earthworm casts. In 2003, the fungicide treatments were significantly more effective in suppressing earthworm population compared to all other treatments, regardless of spray volume." Concludes that "this study provides valuable information to golf course superintendents seeking alternative, non-chemical control options for suppression of earthworm casts." |
