Integrated Pest Management (IPM) refers to the integration of all available techniques for control of diseases, harmful insects and weeds that discourage the development of pest populations and keep the use of pesticides to levels that are economically justified and environmentally sustainable (FAO, 2016).
Objectives
The overall objective of IPM-GOLF is to investigate cultural practices and new technologies for prevention and control of the two most important turfgrass diseases on golf course putting greens and insect pests on golf courses with a minimum use of pesticides. Thus, the objectives of the project are:
- To investigate the effect of cultural approaches such as rolling (microdochium patch only), UV-C radiation and alternative products against microdochium patch and dollar spot (WP1 and WP2);
- To identify the fungal species causing dollar spot in Northern and Central Europe and investigate immonoassay for identification of Clarireedia spp. and Microdochium nivale in plant tissue and Clarireedia spp. in commercial seeds (WP2);
- To compile a review of the management and potential innovation options of monitoring, warning and control of chafer grubs and leatherjackets on golf courses (WP3);
To provide technology transfer to the golf course industry, to disseminate the results from the project through popular and scientific publications, videos and fact sheets. To participate in international seminars and meetings, which will provide exchange of knowledge and experience among scientists, superintendents, industry, turfgrass agronomists and consultants.
