| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles turf management practices in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Explains that "HRM has few concentrated sports fields (complexes)...All sites and individual fields are located in a pesticide free zone so the turf can only be improved by using 'best management practices,' excluding the use of pesticides." Lists the components of HRM's Holistic Turf Management system, including procurement, employee training, and field trials. Concludes that "without question, the program has been successful to the point that it will be continued. Much needs to be accomplished as additional field improvements are to be made. Principals [principles] used in the program and results obtained could be relatively easily used and integrated into similar turf management programs in other municipalities and cities throughout Canada." |
