Fate of Vinclozolin in Creeping Bentgrass Turf Under Two Application Frequencies.

The article investigates the fate of vinclozolin in creeping bentgrass turf under two application frequencies by researchers from West Lafayette, Indiana. The frequent use of fungicides to suppress diseases is a common practice in the management of golf course putting greens. The extent to which multiple applications of fungicides, or any chemical, impact their fate is unclear. Loss of vinclozolin was clearly seen in grass clippings and thatch of the creeping bentgrass turf plots under both application frequencies. In each case, vinclozolin concentrations declined between applications, and there was no vinclozolin detected at the termination of the project.
