| Abstract/Contents: | Details the process of developing pesticides for use on turfgrass. Mentions that "the estimated cost of bringing a new agrochemical to the market in 2000 was approximately $200 million" and "on average it takes eight to 10 years to get a new active ingredient from the laboratory bench to the customer." Discusses how active ingredients are discovered and how laboratory trials are conducted. Concludes that "formulations will be continuously optimizes for...pest targets; in addition, compatibility studies, benefits of mixtures, application timing and techniques will be analyzed for many years." |
