Abstract/Contents: | Describes the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Act for schools in New Jersey and how it encourages the use of nonchemical pest control and low-impact pesticides on school turf, and only allows schools to use restricted pesticides after certain condition thresholds have been exceeded. Discusses the requirement of keeping a field history report and how it could potentially be beneficial to maintenance. Concludes that sports turf managers are the most important part of turf maintenance and that they must be dedicated to "doing whatever it takes to provide truly safe playing fields." |
