Abstract/Contents: | Discusses chemicals that may be used during golf course renovation. Suggests that "the choice of turfgrass renovation chemicals will be primarily dependent upon the degree of renovation undertaken and the species of grass and weeds involved." Profiles the Paraquat, which "is formulated as a water soluble, dichloride salt of bipyridinium containing 2 pounds of active ingredient per gallon." Notes that "Paraquat has an LD50 of 150 milligrams per kilogram for rats and must be handled with extreme precaution. (LD50 is the number of milligrams required per kilogram of body weight by oral ingestion required to kill 50% of a given rat population)...Paraquat is a contact herbicide that is quickly absorbed by the above ground parts of the plants. Uptake by the plant has been detected within 30 seconds of application." Also profiles Roundup, Glyphosate, and Basagran. |
