The Fate of Turgrass Nutrients and Pesticides in the Urban Environment - Urban Environment

Klappentext This book is a compilation of research papers presented at a public workshop in October 2005, co-sponsored by RISE and ACS, regarding the current status of turfgrass environmental research in the United States. Zusammenfassung Recent policy decisions aimed at improving and safeguarding regional surface and subsurface water quality often result in activities at state and local levels to regulate the sale and/or use of many common lawn fertilizer and pesticide products. Clear, comprehensive distribution of the research data generated during the last decade on the environmental fate of fertilizer nutrients and plant protection chemicals in the urban environment is critical to enable informeddecisions by our public officials. This book records the proceedings of a RISE-ACS co-sponsored workshop (October 12-13, 2005) designed to provide a forum for turf researchers and environmental scientists to present research and practical information addressing the realities of turfgrassrisk/benefits and how appropriate maintenance practices performed on urban lawns can impact water quality.
