| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the pests and diseases encountered while preparing fields for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament. States that "as the 2010 World Cup stadia were spread over different areas of South Africa, different weather patterns and climates were observed, which meant individual pest and disease management plans were required depending on each stadium's location." Mentions the four most common pests encountered were mole crickets, black cutworms, black maize beetles, and earthworms. Continues that there were also four main diseases encountered, including Pythium, gray leaf spot, drechslera leaf spot, and microdochium patch. Provides an overview on how both pests and diseases were controlled for the tournament, focusing on chemical applications and general preventive maintenance practices. |
