Abstract/Contents:"From 1996 to 1998, golf course greens located on 16 golf courses in eastern Nebraska were sampled for microbial properties. In addition, an establish study was conducted comparing the use of microbial inoculants versus conventional methods to establish creeping bentgrass putting greens. Among these studies findings: Relatively high pesticide applications do not appear to adversely affect soil microbiology; Sand-based greens are not as sterile as previously perceived, but in fact, reach levels of native soils in a relatively short time; Soil inoculums/additives may alter soil microbiology in the short term, but their use on established turfgrass soils is questionable."
