Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the issue that pesticides kill 'non-target' species "such as birds, fish, earthworms, and other wildlife...Potential hazards of some turf pesticides to fish and birds are sometimes not well communicated on the pesticide label. A generic warning is used, but too often the warning doesn't reflect the seriousness of the potential hazard. It is in the interest of the turf care professional to be aware of these potential special hazards associated with pesticide products so that problems can be minimized." Discusses methods of determining the toxicity of pesticides, and how these pesticides affect birds, rainbow trout, and earthworms. |
