Abstract/Contents: | Discusses pesticide use, stating that "[they] play a vital role in improving the quality of [life while]...critics say the golf industry contaminates the planet with pesticides." States that "pesticides and how they are used are becoming more environmentally compatible. [The] greatest challenge is to become better educated about the biological systems [humans] control." Discusses reducing chlorothalonil usage and extending intervals between applications. Concludes that "[people] must recognize that while [they] search for more environmentally compatible approaches, [they] also will need to integrate and think about [the] biological systems in ways [they] haven't." |
