Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the 2007 National Turfgrass Entomology Workshop held in Wooster, Ohio. States that "the overriding theme of the meeting was alternative, non-chemical control of arthropod pests with emphasis on microbial control strategies including entomopathogenic nematodes and bacterial, fungal and viral control agents." Suggests that "microbial control agents are potentially valuable tools that have utility and promise." States that "this meeting also provided a platform for graduate students to showcase their...research project(s)...[and] this meeting also afforded industry colleagues to present their respective products." Mentions the introduction of Meridian (thiamethoxam), developed by Syngenta, stating that it "now has EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] registration and is commercially available for puraches and use in 2007." |
