| Monograph: | Determination of the Potential Impact from the Release of Glyphosate- and Glufosinate-Resistant Agrostis stolonifera L. in Various Crop and Non-Crop Ecosystems, 2004. |

| Keywords: | Agrostis palustris; Glyphosate; Glufosinate; Herbicide resistance; Hybridization; Gene flow; Weed control; Transgenic turfgrasses; Polypogon |
| Abstract: |
The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) was asked by the United States Department of
Agriculture-Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) to perform an analysis of the
weed management implications associated with the potential deregulation and commercialization of
glyphosate and glufosinate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) varieties. This
analysis is needed to determine the current and potential significance of creeping bentgrass, and
other species with which it can hybridize (several other Agrostis spp. and Polypogon spp.), as weeds
in managed and non-managed ecosystems in the United States. The analysis deliberately focused
exclusively on the weed management implications of the potential release of these creeping
bentgrass varieties and did not attempt to assess other associated environmental and economic
considerations. The Weed Science Society of America does not endorse or oppose the proposed
deregulation of glyphosate- or glufosinate-creeping bentgrass. The information contained in this
report does not represent a position for or against the technology and should not be interpreted as
such. This work was done at the request of USDA/APHIS to provide science-based information for
their use as a regulatory agency.
Procedure. To perform this analysis a team of distinguished weed scientists was assembled. The
team was selected to include representation from the major geographical regions in the United
States as well as a breadth of technical experience inclusive of all natural and managed terrestrial
ecosystems where weed management is a concern (agronomic crops, horticultural crops, turf and
nursery crops, range and pasture, natural areas, industrial sites and rights-of-way). Expertise on the
occurrence of herbicide resistance, both natural and induced, was also included. The team members
performed the analysis by drawing on their personal expertise, by conducting a comprehensive
review of the pertinent literature and by personally surveying over ninety additional weed scientists
and other experts familiar with specific areas of concern. The report prepared by this team was
subsequently reviewed by an ad hoc review panel consisting of three members of the WSSA Board
of Directors who also represent diverse geographical and technical backgrounds.
Findings. Creeping bentgrass, and the other Agrostis spp.and Polypogon spp. with which it can
hybridize, are currently widespread throughout the United States. However, where these species
occur, they are relatively non-aggressive, their presence is rarely considered a problem that warrants
management and thus they are generally not managed as weeds. Despite the number of species and
broad geographical distribution, they have no history as significant weeds of the principal crops in
the U.S., other than as infestations in turf and grass seed crops. Overall, this indicates an inherent
lack of weedy traits necessary for their adaptation and survival in crop culture. Several of these
species have been reported as occasional weeds or as weeds of low importance in fruit, nuts,
vegetables, ornamentals, pasture, range, rights-of-way or natural areas, but they were not identified
as important, significant, or problem weeds in any of these environments.
All currently available information indicates that there is nothing about glyphosate- or
glufosinate-resistant creeping bentgrass that will make these variants inherently more weedy than
the existing non-resistant counterparts. No new weed management concerns were identified or
anticipated except in situations where selection pressure is exerted by use of the respective
herbicides. Due to the current minimal use of glufosinate in the U.S., there is no evidence that
glufosinate-resistant creeping bentgrass will pose any additional weed management problems.
However, glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass may create new weed management challenges in
several specific and limited situations.
Treatment of resistant bentgrass or its hybrids will present a new challenge in grass seed and sod
crops. Glyphosate is currently used to spot treat bentgrass if it is present in other grass seed or sod
crops and it is used as a broadcast treatment when changing grass species or varieties within a field.
This standard treatment will not be effective if glyphosate-resistant bentgrass varieties are present,
therefore, alternative or additional herbicides will be needed. Several existing herbicides provide
comparable levels of control. Some are currently labeled for this use while others would require
additional registration approval before they could be used in these situations.
Glyphosate is also currently used in several other situations where the presence of resistant
bentgrass species or its hybrids could complicate management. One of these situations is orchard
floor management in perennial fruit, nut and vine crops. If resistant variants become established,
and control of these species is warranted, alternative or additional herbicides will be needed. This is
not a major concern, however, because numerous alternative herbicides that provide comparable
levels of control are currently registered for this use.
Glyphosate is also a preferred herbicide for use in natural areas, public lands and rights-of-way
environments. This herbicide is used for spot treatments and occasionally for total vegetation
control and site preparation prior to renovation with desirable species. The presence of glyphosate-
resistant creeping bentgrass or its hybrids would require the use of a different or an additional
herbicide(s). There are several alternative herbicides that provide comparable levels of control of
bentgrass species that are currently registered for use in non-crop or riparian environments,
although some have limitations pertaining to the establishment of new vegetation.
Glyphosate is currently used on millions of acres of glyphosate resistant canola, corn, cotton and
soybean crops. Bentgrass and related species have not been weed problems in conventional or
modified versions of these crops. As additional glyphosate-resistant crops such as alfalfa,
sugarbeets, potatoes and wheat are introduced there is potential for glyphosate-resistant bentgrass or
its hybrids to become weedy in these crops due to recurrent selection pressure in the specific crop
environments. However, bentgrass has not been an important weed problem in these crops when
grown conventionally and several alternative herbicides that provide comparable levels of control of
bentgrass species are currently registered for use in these crops.
A final concern is that the probable repeated use of glyphosate on resistant turf would increase
selection pressure for the development of glyphosate-resistance in the targeted weed species. Usage
of multiple applications per year over multiple years is similar to the use patterns in other perennial
crops where glyphosate resistant grasses have previously developed. Should this occur, glyphosate
resistant technology would be considerably less valuable in turf but in most other crops, alternative
herbicides and management options are available for the control of these weed species.
Conclusion. Although the off-site movement of glyphosate- or glufosinate-resistant creeping
bentgrass or their hybrids is likely over time, it is unlikely that deregulation and release of
transgenic glyphosate- or glufosinate-resistant creeping bentgrass varieties will cause significant
new weed problems in the principal crops or non-crop areas of the U.S. The strongest evidence
supporting this conclusion are that these species have no history as important weeds of the principal
U.S. crops, other than turf and grass seed crops; there is little evidence of active management of
these species as weeds in non-crop situations; and alternative control methods (e.g., other
herbicides, tillage, and crop rotation) exist for control of glyphosate or glufosinate-resistant
creeping bentgrass in almost all crop and non-crop environments. |

| Abstract: | "Throughout Europe, the need for the golf industry to become greener has led to concern over the future management of pests and diseases. Most people involved in the golf industry want to see a reduction in the amount of pesticides used on golf courses. In some European countries, legislation will severely limit the plant protection products available to greenkeepers. Therefore, the R&A research sub-committee initiated this review to collate and review existing research on the most important pests and diseases affecting European golf courses. The aims of this work are to identify gaps in current knowledge and, in so doing, provide information to aid in the prioritisation of future research. The major pest and disease problems affecting golf in Europe were identified at a meeting of the R&A research sub-committee in October 2003. Current knowledge for each of these pests and
diseases is reviewed. Overall it is concluded that traditional greenkeeping could reduce the severity of damage caused by pests and diseases. However, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to completely control pests and diseases in the absence of plant protection products and still maintain excellent year round turf surfaces. When severe problems occur (and until reliable alternatives are widely available) plant protection products may be required to maintain turf surfaces at acceptable levels." |

| Abstract: | "Turfgrass management since 1940 in the U.S. has been characterized by intensive use of synthetic chemicals including water-soluble fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Conventional practices also generate solid waste (through removal of grass clippings) and hazardous waste (leftover chemicals), and use large amounts of irrigation water, which may be wasted through overwatering or runoff. A review of current science suggests that these practices may be harmful to human and wildlife health, and also negatively impact the turfgrass ecosystem, contributing to significant declines in populations of beneficial soil organisms, soil acidification and compaction, thatch accumulation, and dimished resistance to diseases. Interviews with turf professionals around the Pacific Northwest region and a review of scientific and technical literature indicate that a proven
alternative approach exists. It is based on observation of the entire soil and grass ecosystem, appreciation that turfgrasses are sustained by the activities of soil-dwelling organisms, and understanding that this grass community is a dynamic equilibrium among many plants, invertebrates, and microbial organisms. This equilibrium can then be shaped to support the natural vigor of the grass plant and the beneficial soil organisms, and to minimize pest problems, by application of proper cultural practices. Recommended practices include: setting realistic expectations for lawn appearance and tolerating a few weeds; proper site selection and soil preparation; using site-adapted grasses; mowing higher; leaving clippings; correcting soil deficiencies; moderate use of natural or slow-release fertilizers; irrigating deeply but infrequently; renovation practices including aeration,
over-seeding, and compost topdressing; and use of the integrated pest managment process." |

| Keywords: | Golf courses; Golf course design; Bunkers; History; Illinois |
| Abstract: | From the Preface: "A close acquaintanceship with golf courses in the country generally has shown me that much could be done in the matter of pointing out to Greens Committees salient features necessary to the proper upkeep of their courses. Many committees, willing workers though they may be, have no time to devote to the study of soils, etc., and with this in view I contributed to the Chicago Evening Post a series of articles which is herein reprinted." Includes: The Utilization of natural features; the Bunkering of courses which become very hard and fast in midsummer; the Drainage of heavy, impervious, clay soils; the Art of building natural looking bunkers; Economy in golf course design construction and maintenance; the Construction of artificial hazards; the Length of holes and of courses; Placing hazards; and Record-keeping. |
