| Abstract/Contents: | Presents highlights from the Sports Turf Association 1991 conference. Discusses the speech delivered by keynote speaker Dr. Richard Caton, mentioning the need for integrated pest management systems and irrigation systems that aim to conserve water. Highlights the beliefs of Bob Miller, Pesticide Control Officer, regarding hazard signs, spraying license regulations, and sewer system drainage. Discusses Ron Angus' position involving organic pest types and physical, chemical, and physiological toxic mechanisms. Details Richard Standish's presentation advocating the non-use of pesticides, which focuses on the City of Ottawa's spraying of 24D in 1981 and the eventual ban of all pesticides in favor of the use of aeration, mowing, overseeding, and topdressing. Discusses Dr. Richard Caton's positions on turf height and the reasons for some coaches' preference for shorter grass. |
