Sammendrag

In 2009, the European Parliament and Council adopted the Directive 2009/128/EC (European Communities) for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides. According to this situation, the integrated pest management (IPM)-Project Golf 2020–2023 was implemented by Scandinavian Turfgrass and Environment Research Foundation and the R&A Trust Company (No. 1) Limited (the R&A) to evaluate and assess new techniques and alternative products to control diseases such as microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale) and dollar spot (Clarireedia spp.) with the goal to reduce the use of fungicides. As a sub-project, the use of UV-C radiation was carried out to investigate the effectivity of UV-C radiation to prevent both diseases on golf course putting greens. This study was conducted from spring 2020 until spring 2022 on a putting green (50% Poa spp. and 50% Agrostis spp.) at the golf course of Osnabrück Golf Club (Germany). The dosages of UV-C radiation were 0 mJ/cm2, 7–8 mJ/cm2, 35–40 mJ/cm2, and 70–80 mJ/cm2 which were applied using the SGL UV-C 180 just prior to and during periods of active dollar spot and microdochium patch development. The results of the UV-C application determined that highest UV-C dosage was able to reduce the severity of dollar spot and microdochium patch by 46%–81%. Thus, UV-C radiation with enhanced dosages can be a helpful tool in IPM strategies for turfgrass management to reduce chemical fungicides with view on tolerance levels of disease infestation.
