I- 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 24. 1987 Real Estate Guide New Weapon in Dandelion War An environmentally safe way to destroy dandelions without harming the surrounding surrounding grass is a step closer to reality, says a University University of Guelph environmental environmental biologist. Dr. Lee Burpee plans to take a natural natural fungus that kills dandelions dandelions and adapt it for commercial use. Burpee, who is director of the university's new Turfgrass Institute, stumbled stumbled upon the idea by accident accident when a colleague mentioned mentioned seeing a dandelion patch that seemed to be dying off because of a fungus. fungus. The scientist went out and found diseased dandelions dandelions in the field and .brought them back to the •laboratory, where he isolated isolated the fungi and bacteria from the plants.

"We have had good success with one species of fungus that kills an eight-week-old dandelion dandelion plant in just four days." The next step is to grow dandelions in turfgrass plots at the University-operated University-operated Horticultural Horticultural Research Station in Cambridge this spring, inoculating inoculating the plants at different different stages of growth to observe what happens. The scientist and his colleagues colleagues are collecting the dandelion seeds this month and will stagger the seeding over a three-month period. That way, says Burpee, they'll be able to see how the fungi act on plants at different stages of development. development. Because dandelions are perennial plants, they'll do another study next spring. eel van REALTY LTD. Lucien Lambier 623-4975 "We want to know the exact age of the plants we're inoculating. inoculating. It may turn out that the inoculation will have to be done only every second or third year." The research looks promising in the lab trials, he says, but the field trials this spring will "make or break it." Burpee, who has worked in the area of turfgrass for 14 years, says there has been considerable interest in the last five years in the development development of biological pesticides and herbicides. A naturally destructive substance substance like fungus has an environmental advantage because it is biological, not chemical. "The face that it is natural means the toxic effects on animals or humans humans will be minimal," says Burpee. "In this case, the fungus already exists in nature, nature, and we have not changed it in any way." The scientists have yet to determine the effect of the inoculator on other broad- leaf plants. Although grass is not susceptible to the fungus, fungus, other plants may be. "We're working on a method of keeping the fungus from sporulating so it won't move to other, non-target plants," he says. Commercial use of the produce produce would require the same precautions used with any lawn care product to ensure ensure there is minimal drifting. drifting. Methods of granulating the fungus will be developed developed this summer.
