| Abstract/Contents: | "Golf courses rely upon the judicious use of inputs including pesticides to produce healthy turfgrass. Integrated pest management is key to healthy turfgrass and is part of the agronomic and environmental BMPs. Healthy turf provides benefits including crucial 'greenspaces', habitat for birds and wildlife, recreational opportunities, and municipal revenue generated by outdoor recreational facilities. Cities and counties across the U.S. are debating ordinances to ban/restrict the use of chemical pesticides on city/public property. Local bans/restrictions on pesticide use is a trend that has gained momentum since the city of San Francisco, Calif., adopted such an ordinance in 1996. Many states have preemption (or 'state primacy') laws to prohibit municipalities from adopting local laws and regulations on the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Without such laws, more than 80,000 municipalities in the U.S. could adopt and enforce their own unique ordinances, including use and applicator certification, making compliance difficult. Local pesticide restrictions hinder the ability of golf course superintendents to control pests that have a detrimental effect on healthy turf. Golf course management is not well known and misperceptions persist about the golf industry. Regulatory scrutiny over input use is on the rise and the golf industry must have a seat at the policymaking table to address these challenges." |
