Abstract/Contents: | "Integrated Pest Management (IPM) can keep weed infestations below a predetermined treatment threshold by using all suitable techniques and methods appropriate for a site. That may be as simple as a change in cultural practices or site usage , or as complex as the use of best management practices for control of other pests such as disease or insects. Using IPM to control weeds does not preclude the use of traditional chemical herbicides, rather chemicals can be one weapon in an arsenal that can be used at a given site to accomplish the task." Topics include: identifying weeds; identifying prone sites, wet sites, compacted soil, shallow rooting, low nitrogen levels, high nitrogen levels, high or infrequent mowing, and close or frequent mowing; Maximizing turf health and density through IPM; and knowing when to use chemicals to control weeds. |
