| Abstract/Contents: | "Golf course pesticide use continues to be scrutinized for non-target effects, off-site movement, and general risk to human and ecosystem health. Progressive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs have been shown to reduce the environmental risk associated with golf turf pesticide use. A seven-year environmental risk assessment was conducted on fifteen golf courses managed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation (OPRHP) to determine pesticide use patterns and the effect of data-driven education designed to reduce risk associated with pesticide use. Pesticide use was recorded including location, date, rate, and target pest. A pesticide risk indicator model, the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) was used to assess environmental risk calculated from pesticide toxicological data and application information. Pesticide use differences exist based on location specifically Long Island Region courses compared to five regions of Upstate NY. Overall, Long Island region golf courses have substantially higher risk associated with pesticide use, and over seven years have reduced that risk by 11 percent. Upstate NY region courses have seen no overall reduction in pesticide risk. Two specific pests, dollar spot (Sclerotinia homeocarpa) and annual bluegrass weevil (Listronotus maculicollis Dietz) consistently account for over 50 percent of the risk associated with pesticides applied to New York State golf courses. Education since 2013 provided by Cornell University and NYSIPM has focused education provided to course staff on the improved management strategies for the two important pests. Consequently, in three years the Long Island region courses have experienced a 45 percent decrease in risk associated with the management of dollar spot and annual bluegrass weevil through the development of effective pest monitoring/predicting, use of alternative cultural practices and reduced risk and OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute)-listed products." |
