| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses studies at Iowa State University with Pencross [Penncross] creeping bentgrass to determine if "concentrations [of copper found in fungicides] could eventually reach levels that adversely affect the growth of turfgrass." Results indicate that "the effect on roots was not dependent on media type...the effect on grass-clipping production, unlike root mass, varied by medium type...the concentration of copper in the roots of plants grown in the silica sand was 34 percent greater than those in the calcareous sand." Notes that "copper concentrations simulated in this study were extremely high and unlikely to ever result from real-world fungicide use." |
