Abstract/Contents: | Discusses integrated pest management (IPM) for homelawns, focusing on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) IPM program. States that "the goal of the IPM is to manage pests and the environment, balancing costs, benefits, public health, and environmental quality." Emphasizes weed management practices, insect management, and fungus disease management as implementations of the IPM program, stating that "weeds are the most common pest problem on home lawns, followed by insects." Concludes that "IPM is sometimes redefined and renamed Integrated Turf Management or Plant Health Care, but the principles are the same: Management is directed at the crop (grass) rather than an individual pest problem." |
