| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes how cosmetic standards for turf quality affect pesticide use, by area on the course (rough, fairways, tees, greens). Conclusions: "Cosmetic standards have less impact on pesticide use than geographic location, turfgrass adaptation, or golfer expectations. In the U.S., the Pacific Northwest and the arid West have the lowest pest pressure while the southern half of the nation probably has the highest. The north central region and New England fall somewhere between these extremes. Areas most likely to receive frequent pesticide applications such as greens and tees make up only about 5 % of the total acreage of the golf course. Generalizations about pesticide use on golf courses can't be made. Even within a small geographic area pesticide use may vary dramatically between private courses, public and municipal courses, and resorts. Concerns about pesticide use can only be addressed on a case by case basis." |
