| Abstract/Contents: | "Researchers at the University of Illinois constructed runoff plots to investigate several best management practices to limit the amount of pesticide leaving the site of application. Their findings and recommendations include: Pesticide application within 12 hours of an expected rain event should be avoided, if possible. Runoff occurring at 24-72 hours after pesticide application is considerably reduced versus runoff that occurs within 12 hours of a pesticide application. Choosing pesticides with low active ingredient application rates dramatically reduces the amount of pesticide runoff. Clippings harvested immediately following a pesticide application will contain a significant quantity of pesticide. Returning those clippings to the turf would be valuable particularly in the case of soil active pesticides such as pre-emergence annual grass control herbicides and root-absorbed products such as the plant growth regulators paclobutrazol or flurprimidol. The use of buffer strips is a best management practice that will reduce pesticide runoff. Any increase in the length of untreated turf or other landscape plantings between the treated turf and the point where runoff water would enter a stream, drain, or other direct access to water will dramatically reduce pesticide runoff." |
