The contemporary lawn does not deviate from this pattern. As shown in Table 2.1, the dominant turf grasses of the United States-used in lawns, playing fields, parks, and golf courses-are all introduced species. Moreover, many are species that arrived in the New World as forage plants for cattle. In...

Washing, wiping and vacuum techniques have also been employed to estimate foliar residue dislodgeability from turf grass (Popendorf et al 1975 Goh et al, 1986 Sears et al., 1987 Cowell et al., 1993 Black and Fenske, 1996). In one of these techniques, boots wrapped with cotton cheesecloth are used to determine the transfer of turf residues to the shoe soles (Sears et al., 1987). Another was somewhat similar to the PUF roller, employing the use of a PUF-covered paint roller (Cowell et al., 1993).

For purposes of screening-level assessments, while multiple applications may exist for a given pesticide, e.g. indoor residential exposures may originate from pesticide applications to ornamental and landscape plantings, typically a worst-case or high-end exposure scenario is selected for the initial assessment. For example, turf grass broadcast application is the use pattern that often serves to provide the worst-case estimates of human contact and exposure for most outdoor uses of a pesticide.
