- 7 pages., Via online journal., This study examined how different presentation formats affected knowledge gain among school grounds managers. Results indicate large-group participants (presentation to ≈50 participants at a turfgrass field day) had greater knowledge retention than small-group participants (presentation to 6–10 participants at an interactive workshop). Small-group attendees had more flexibility to discuss issues that affected them directly and may have focused on those issues instead of the targeted information. Large-group meetings were more ridged in format and attendees were less able to deviate from the main subject matter being presented. However, the value of the small-group meeting should not be discounted, especially when athletic field grounds managers and staff require information specific to their situation. When disseminating more general information, the large-group meeting format is a better means of delivery.

- Notes:
- cited reference, In many developing nations pesticides are indiscriminately sold without health warnings. Few farmers properly use the chemicals, resulting in poisoning and a growing number of related deaths. Some developing nations are even producing their own pesticides. Governments needs to control pesticides, and manufacturers need to adhere to ethical rules when dealing with developing nations. Environmental and health risk information must be available, and national organizations should be formed to promote safeguards.
