| Abstract/Contents: | Increased demand for high quality turfgrasses throughout the United States has placed new demands on pest control operators, turf managers, and those involved in pest management research. The biggest stumbling block in the path towards effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs in turf is the lack of necessary information for scouting, thresholds, and prediction. Increased emphasis on fine turfgrass lawns and landscaping has prompted increased interest in research. The first step to effect pest control is diagnosis. This is very important to determine the type of treatment needed. Another critical component of effective insect management in turf is timing of the insecticide application. The other aspect of timing that needs to be considered is the time of day you should apply an insecticide based on the insect's activity. |
