| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass Information and Pest Scouting (TIPS), a program modified from traditional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, was incorporated into a pilot project specifically designed for turf managers. Objectives of the TIPS program were (i)identifying and incoporating scouting techniques to indicate pest presence and pressure; (ii) maximizing plant health through proper maintenance while promoting prescriptive pesticide usage to maintain acceptable appearance; and (iii)applying computer technology and remote sensing techniques for stress identification and plant problem analysis on golf course turf. Background information was compiled on maintenance practices such as mowing, fertilizing, watering practices, and applying pesticides. Scouting was performed on a 10-d cycle and involved inspecting for pest problems and improper agronomic practices. Management practices were reviewed and recommendations suggested to each manager. Results included (i)educating turf managers on recognizing important pests and determining when sufficient pest levels were present to apply pesticides rather than treating on a calendar basis as previously performed; (ii)transferring computer technology to aid in record keeping and mapping of pest or problem areas; (iii)providing aerial photographs to pinpoint controversial course design or corrections that were necessary; (iv)improving communication channels between county agents, university specialists, and turf managers; and (v)identifying research and extension needs, as well as providing on-site research and demonstration areas." |
