Abstract/Contents:Discusses the development of "an electronic resource to help superintendents optimize their environmental stewardship by better understanding the environmental characteristics of golf course pesticides." Explains that, once developed, the tool may aid in assessing the environmental risk of using certain pesticides. Addresses a dilemma in the creation of the resource, stating that "the challenge of this project is to develop a tool that is easy to use, while retaining a sound scientific basis for estimating potential environmental risks of using a particular pesticide."
