| Abstract/Contents: | Describes how the superintendent at Shadow Valley Golf Club, Eagle, ID, retrofitted two golf carts with 25-gallon spray tanks to transform them into spot-sprayers. Explains that one sprayer is used for post-emergence broadleaf weed control and the other for pre-emergence weed control under tree basins. Also describes how a turfgrass research technician at Washington State University used lightweight steel pipe, bicycle tires, and an adjustable boom assembly to create a lightweight sprayer. Explains that "this lightweight rig is a great way to apply fertilizer and other products to an immature stand of turf without causing turfgrass injury or surface disruption." States that "lightweight sprayers and spot application of pesticide are good ways to maintain excellent turfgrass quality in an ecologically and economically sound manner." |
