TECHNICAL


Carbendazim wasn’t withdrawn to make turf managers’ lives harder, but to make the


environment a safer place and to protect both the user and the wider public


products that are available - be it acidifi ers (with their limited eff ectiveness) or ‘soil conditioners’ (which pose the question of legalities), then the future should focus on achieving an approved eff ective control that is safe for the user, public and environment. But, is there a product waiting in the wings to gain emergency approval? If not then, even if the regulatory bodies accepted the need for worm control in the amenity market and were willing to discuss possible


approvals, if that option isn’t there then it becomes a moot point. If so, then are the regulatory bodies being lobbied by industry bodies to be made aware of the current predicament, and is there a solution available that’s more eff ective and safer than what’s being used currently?


Turf managers just simply want to provide the best surfaces for their players and members and, rather than go down the route of unregulated, untested and often


ineff ective products, then surely it’s better as an industry to be having discussions with the manufacturers and regulators to understand what the options are and communicating that with them! If there are none, then it seems we are left pretty much where we are - frustrated turf managers exploring ineff ective or legally questionable treatments.


As an industry, I feel we can and should be doing better than that.
