| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses diagnosis of turf problems caused by pests. States that "insect pest damage to greens is often misdiagnosed. For example, unrepaired ball marks or dollar spot disease activity can mask the injury caused by surface feeders, such as cutworms or sod webworms, on greens." Emphasizes the importance of an accurate diagnosis. Concludes that superintendents should "always make an extra effort to clearly identify possible insect pest concerns on greens or anywhere else on the course before making a decision to apply an insecticide...The critical prerequisite for developing a successful integrated pest management program for turf or any other commodity is an accurate diagnosis of the pests." |
