Abstract
Evaluates using vegetative filter strips to remove four pesticides commonly used on turf grasses. Ten aesthetically acceptable plants were evaluated including Andropogon gerardii and Tripsacum dactyloides. Both of these species effectively removed pesticides and were good candidates for use in vegetative filter strips.Suggested Citation
