| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted at North Carolina State University to compare "pesticide degradation characteristics in turfgrass soil systems containing differing amounts of organic matter." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "degradation characteristics of simazine in surface soil (0-2 inches [0-5 centimeters] deep) and subsoil (2-6 inches [5-15 centimeters] deep) of bermudagrass fairways were determined using laboratory techniques. A simazine solution radio-labeled with carbon-14 was prepared with commercial-grade simazine to be applied to the soil." Reports that "simazine added to sterile soil that had no microbial activity showed substantial potential for binding to organic matter. Simazine's binding capacity was directly related to organic matter." Concludes that "superintendents must make it a priority to educate their green committees, golfers, surrounding homeowners and the general public about how turfgrass is consistent with environmental stewardship." |
