| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles DeLaveaga Golf Course in Santa Cruz, California, focusing on its pesticide reduction program. States that "the reduction in pesticide use at DeLaveaga Golf Course is the result of a city policy enacted in 1998. Through that policy, managers of all city-owned lands are required to comply with three changes in pesticide use: the elimination of certain pesticies; the reduction in the use of other products; and posting notice of all pesticide applications 24 hours in advance and for four days following treatments." Discusses how the course is using mechanical and cultural methods for the control of fungal pathogens, English Daisies, and rodents. Also states that "overall, Lenington [City Resource Ecologist] says his goal is to focus on the most effective use of IPM strategies rather than emphasizing a ban on pesticides." |
