| Abstract/Contents: | Presents research conducted to examine "golf turf management with little to no chemical pesticides." Details methods used in the study, stating that the "approach has been to compare traditional putting green management to a strict IPM [integrated pest management] approach and to biologically-based and reduced-risk management." Explains that "the putting green is the most intensively managed area on a golf course, has the highest quality expectations, and will therefore be the most difficult to manage with chemical pesticides." States that "the foundation of [the research] focuses on reducing plant stress associated with putting green management that often leads to pest problems. Reduced stress management programs include alteration of mowing, watering and feeding strategies designed to meet playability standards that might reduce visual quality." Also states that "the project is long term...It's an experiment using full putting greens as experimental units as well as a demonstration to the many thousands of golfers who play the course each year." Reports that "throughout the project, [researchers] have been able to apply fewer chemical pesticides on the IPM and reduced-risk (or non-chemical) greens as compared to traditionally managed greens." |
