| Abstract/Contents: | A review of how integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, in addition to sound turf management practices can be used to control pests in turfgrass stands. The tactics used include: 1) regulatory procedures by government and industry to exclude pests from seed, planting material, or restrict susceptible species; 2) genetic control include identification of genetic resistance or introduction of specific genes to gain resistance; 3) cultural control tactics which involve sound management practices and proper planting times. Past site history also is a factor in establishment of a sound pest management program; 4) biological control is the control of pests by their natural enemies, and can be parasites, predators, or diseases. Biological weed control can be accomplished by use of alleopathic species; 5) physical control tactics include heat treatment prior to planting, use of mechanical traps for insect and vertebrate pests, noise devices to discourage birds and other animals. Proper drainage is also an example of physical control; 6) chemical control tactics involve the use of pesticides, herbicides, and preplanting fumigants. When chemical controls are used, it is important that the specific pest be determined so that the proper pesticide and rate of application be used. It is also important to determine what caused the pest problem so that alterations in existing practices be used prior to chemical control. Sophisticated IPM programs for turf managers have not been developed, however, many of the factors involved are well understood. By choosing a well adapted species, using sound management practices, and frequent observation and record-keeping, proper control action can be taken at the most apropriate time. |
