Welcome to an International Seminar held by STERF and NIBIO
Thursday 7 March 2019 at Clarion Hotel & Congress, Oslo Airport Gardermoen, Norway
What can be done to improve sustainability and minimize risk associated with the use of chemical pesticides on golf courses?
The background for this seminar is the STERF project ‘Risks for surface runoff and leaching of fungicides from golf greens varying in rootzone composition and amount of thatch’ which is coming to an end in February 2019. We want to share and discuss with representatives for the golf industry, chemical industry and legislative authorities the outcomes and possible implications of this project and other related research projects at the European level.
