Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of managing lawn grass on a golf course, and more specifically, to control the outflow of pesticides from the floor soil on which the lawn grows to prevent environmental damage around the golf course and to prevent the destruction of the lawn. The present invention relates to a new turf management method capable of repairing rough turf cleanly by promoting growth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional golf course, in order to enhance the growth of turf on the ground soil of the green when the golf course is constructed or modified,
Soil improvement material is applied. Also, for the purpose of green management, unlike the soil-improving material for floor soil, a soil-improving material for grain soil with a particle size of about 1 mm is used, which is a mixture of zeolite, pearlite and diatomaceous earth. There is.

[0003]

However, in the conventional soil improving material used for the above-mentioned soil work such as zeolite, adsorption and retention of pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides sprayed to protect turf. Therefore, there is a problem in that the pesticide cannot be prevented from flowing out due to rainfall or the like and the effect of the pesticide cannot be maintained for a long period of time. Also, because of this, the number of pesticide sprays increases,
There was the problem that it would cost extra and extra work. Also,
There is also a problem that the spilled pesticide pollutes downstream rivers and the like, which adversely affects the environment.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to apply pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides to the bed soil on which turf is grown. To provide a lawn management method for a golf course that, by holding it for a long period of time, promotes the growth of lawn and does not have an adverse effect on the environment, and can save the cost and labor for spraying pesticides. It is in.

[0005]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, in the method for controlling the lawn of a golf course of the present invention, at least one kind of clay porous particles selected from the group consisting of sepiolite and attapulgite is used. The method used as a soil improvement material for joint soil was adopted.

[0006]

In the present invention, sepiolite and attapulgite used as the soil improving material for the soil are both hydrous magnesium silicates and classified as clay minerals. In general, many clay minerals have a layered structure, whereas the sepiolite and attapulgite have a fibrous structure, and the properties thereof chemically and physically have a soil improving function in the soil of a golf course. Therefore, the effect is to improve the water retention and water absorption of the soil. In particular, the sepiolite has recently attracted attention as having excellent properties such as large adsorption ability, catalytic ability, rheological properties, and further dry caking property and sinterability, and its applications include thickeners, deodorants, It is used as a water absorbent and oil absorbent.

At golf courses, insecticides such as diazinon, chlorpyrifos, fenitrothion (MEP),
Fungicides such as oxine copper, captan and iprodione, herbicides such as simazine (CAT), butamiphos and ashram, and plant growth regulators are mainly sprayed as pesticides on greens and fairways.

In the golf course controlled by the method of the present invention, the pesticide sprayed on the turf is dissolved by rainfall or the like and infiltrates the floor soil, but the clayey porous particles used as the soil soil improving material dissolve the pesticide. Since the collected rainwater is adsorbed and held, it is possible to prevent the pesticide from flowing out of the golf course from the drainage system. In addition, the moisture adsorbed and held by the clay porous particles is appropriately absorbed by the grass, which helps replenish the grass with water and promote its growth. Further, since the agricultural chemicals adsorbed and held by the clay porous particles can perform the insecticidal, sterilizing, and weeding actions on the grass and the soil over a long period of time, the management of the grass becomes easy.

The soil soil improving material used in the present invention may be impregnated with the above-mentioned pesticide in advance. Also,
If necessary, liquid chemical fertilizers containing plant essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potassium, etc., agents for improving soil microorganisms, etc. may be impregnated. Further, it may be used together with solid chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers such as compost and manure.

Sepiolite and attapulgite may be used alone or in combination. Also,
It may be used by mixing with sands for soils such as river sand, mountain sand, sea sand, organic materials, or other materials.
