| Abstract/Contents: | "The efficiency of pesticides for controlling specific pests is well known throughout the turfgrass industry. But turfgrass managers and scientists alike have very little information regarding the beneficial and deleterious effects of pesticides on turfgrass processes other than controlling pests. These side effects, or nontarget effects, continue to be one of the least understood aspects of pesticide use. We can be sure that some side effects do result from our use of pesticides and that the beneficial effects are likely to help offset the negative effects. It is also clear that if the beneficial effects can be identified and exploited and the deleterious effects minimized, the art of turfgrass management will become more soundly based and maintenance costs will be reduced to the minimum. Our knowledge of nontarget effects of pesticides in the specialized turfgrass ecosystem is limited, but even the existing body of information has not been adequately extended to turfgrass managers. This paper highlights some effects of pesticides on turfgrass diseases and the results of my studies on the turfgrass characteristics influenced by fungicides." |
