| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrass biotechnology, announcing that "The Scotts Company and Monsanto are working on projects that will make several of the conventional turfgrasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, St. Augustinegrass and creeping bentgrass resistant to the herbicide Round-Up." Explains that "before a turfgrass containing a biotechnology-inserted gene can be released and marketed, a very extensive scientific review is made by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)." Notes potential advantages of Round-Up resistant turfgrass, including that "the turf manager would be able to control Poa annua in the fairways and on the greens in a way that would have no negative effect on the bentgrass plant." Concludes that "all parties are trying to do what they think is best for the turf manager, the turfgrass industry, the environment, and society as a whole." |
