| Abstract/Contents: | "Research was conducted at Bethpage State Park by Cornell University researchers to evaluate the aesthetic and functional performance of golf putting greens managed under various cultural and pest management systems. Finding include: IPM greens received 27-46% fewer pesticide applications than the unrestricted pest management (current standard) greens. Velvet bentgrass greens outperformed poa/creeping bentgrass greens when managed without chemical pesticides for most of 2002, and parts of 2003. Nonchemical poa/creeping bentgrass greens were marginally acceptable or below acceptable quality during the most stressful months of each year-much of July, August, and sometimes early September. Dollar spot was the predominant pest problem in all years, but incidence and severity were reduced in the second and third year. Rhizoctonia incidence was higher in 2002 and 2003 than 2001. Cutworms either favor velvet bentgrass, or the damage appears more severe than on poa/creeping bentgrass greens. In 2002, the alternative culture greens generally performed better than the standard culture in all pest management treatments. Less pesticide was also required to maintain treatments. Less pesticide was also required to maintain alternative greens under both the IPM and non-chemical strategies. However, this did not occur in other years. The non-chemical standard culture greens received an emergency chemical fungicide application in 2002, and two to three in 2003. Project results have been conveyed to several thousand golf course personnel, environmental advocates, and policy makers. The project is influencing golf course practices and policies in the U.S., Canada and beyond." |
