| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential strategies for predicting turfgrass insect activity, stating that "most golf course superintendents use two basic methods for timng of their insect and/or mite controls: preventive or reactive applications of pesticides." Distinguishes between preventive and reactive applications, explaining that "preventive applications are made when a superintendent desires to eliminate a problem before it arrives...Reactive applications are made when the superintendent didn't notice that a pest problem was building up." Lists possible problems associated with preventive applications, including "application of pesticide when it [isn't needed]"; "continuous pesticide usage may cause pest resistance or accelerated degradation"; "additional pesticide applications if the preventive didn't work"; and "a reduction of professionalism in the superintendent." Lists potential problems associated with reactive applications, including "[evident] damage...and the Greens Committee is unhappy"; "the insects/mites may be in a stage which is more difficult to control"; and "more toxic pesticides may have to be used." Discusses alternative techniques for timing of controls, including pitfall traps, light traps, pheromone traps, disclosing solutions, and pest mapping, as well as weather-mediated pest monitoring, which "uses the assumption that insects and mites develop according to the weather." |
