Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA) to "1. Develop silver nanoparticle compounds with nematicidal activity. 2. Evaluate the efficacy of silver nanoparticles for control of nematode and improvement of turf quality in the bermudagrass putting green." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the first field trial (Trial 1) was conducted on the bermudagrass cultivar 'Tifway 419' putting green (5-inch sand cap) at a golf course in Houston." Reports that "no nematode treatments significantly decreased nematode population compared with the untreated control in the spring and summer. However, the application of nematodes in November significantly reduced the nematode populations in Trial 4 or improved the turfgrass quality in Trial 3." Concludes that "the follow-up field evaluations are ongoing in 2012 and will continue in 2013." |
