Abstract/Contents: | Notes that one of the main areas of research at the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) is product testing, stating that "research, carried out in a very controlled manner by a company not tied in any way to the product, adds a lot of weight to the resulting data." Reports that "in Europe, plant protection products are only authorised [authorized] if they have data indicating that they will control the pest...STRI is an officially approved organisation [organization] for these trials." Overviews other methods of product testing conducted by STRI, such as experiments with application timing and optimal use once a product has been released on the market, and adapting technology developed in other industries for turf maintenance. Mentions that STRI is holding a research event September 19th and 20th 2012 to demonstrate the results from their trials with sports turf products. |
