| Abstract/Contents: | The first step in IPM is proper mowing, fertilizing and irrigation of turfgrass. It is an educated way to grow plants, requiring you to know as much as possible about the turfgrass, the pests and the possible control methods. Through the use of IPM you can reduce pesticide use 30 to 80 percent, depending on the pest. The heart of an IPM program is maintaining healthy turf that is better able to resist and recuperate from weed infestation, disease and insect damage. Cultural practices integrate with pesticide application to control pests on your grounds. Establishing a proper site is essential for cultivating a turfgrass culture. Pesticide use is necessary when pest problems exsist even after you have provided the proper environment soil conditions, culture and turfgrass. |
