Abstract/Contents:Discusses pesticide use on golf courses. Mentions a debate "taking place across Canada over the use of what is sometimes called the 'cosmetic' use of pesticides." Explains that "essentially all pesticide products used in Canada are tested and approved by the federal government through the Pest Management Regulatory Agency." States that, "with respect to golf, the use of pesticides is anything but cosmetic....Without a playing surface that is both inviting and exciting to play and which provides a safe, consistent playing surface, the game and the industry would not survive." Asserts thhat superintendents "generally employ a technique referred to as 'Integrated Pest Management (IPM)." Reports the environmental benefits of the oxygen supply and ground water filtering provided by a golf course's vegetation.
