| Abstract/Contents: | Reports that "nematode management on golf course turf has not gotten easier in recent years." This is because "many of the effective nematodes...are not longer available" and "nematode problems are becoming more widespread." Discusses the lack of research into nematicides, the recent change in this trend, and the "opportunities for smaller companies to get alternative products for nematode management on the market." Explains that "because most of these products are exempt from EPA scrutiny, they are relatively cheap and quick to get on the market...[however], rigorous and objective evaluation of their efficacy is lacking for many of these products." Presents a study to evaluate "the effects of these products on nematode populations, turf visual performance, and root development." Results include that "in 2002 none of the experimental treatments reduced nematode populations compared to the untreated controls. However, the mustard product enhanced turf color and density." Describes the process by which the mustard product works and suggests that "it may benefit the turf in several ways" and that "it may be more effective against some nematode species than others." Concludes that there will be "effective nematode management products on the market by 2010" while warning that "many of the options on the market are not all they are cracked up to be, and they should first be carefully evaluated on a small scale." |
