Many greenkeepers and authorities are concerned about the environmental risks resulting from pesticide use on golf courses. We studied leaching surface runoff of fungicides metabolites for two winter seasons after fall application boscalid, pyraclostrobin, prothioconazole, trifloxystrobin, fludioxonil in field lysimeters at NIBIO Landvik, Norway. The applications were made creeping bentgrass gr...

Golf course standards are an important element to enable effective performance-based management, which can optimise resource efficiency, and attain player satisfaction. It is important, therefore, establish the current knowledge awareness of what criteria exist for optimum golf management. This paper draws together relevant academic industry research undertaken in area level understanding. revi...

Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLVs) are considered as important sources of iron and vitamin A. However, iron concentration may not indicate bioaccessibility. The objectives of this study were to compare the nutrient content and iron bioaccessibility of five sweet potato cultivars, including three orange-fleshed types, with other commonly consumed DGLVs in Ghana: cocoyam, corchorus, baobab, kena...

Tropical leaf vegetables are grown in the tropics and are rich sources of nutrients, particularly minerals, and vitamins (Oomen and Grubben 1978).
