THE 2006-2007 PROFESSIONAL GUIDE FOR IPM IN TURF FOR MASSACHUSETTS
The freshly revised 2006-2007 Professional Guide
for IPM in Turf for Massachusetts features the
latest techniques critical to environmentally sensitive,
integrated management of lawns, athletic fields, and
golf courses. The guide, intended for use by professionals,
presents research-based material regarding turfgrass
selection and water conservation, as well as current
approaches for managing disease, insect, weed, and
nematode problems. Municipal and school officials charged
with establishing IPM programs in their communities,
and gardeners and homeowners serious about sensibly
caring for their properties will find unique and critical
information in the guide as well.
The 2006-2007 Professional Guide can be used
effectively in a wide range of management schemes: from
organic, to low-maintenance, to high-intensity care of
high-use turf. Alternative and cultural pest control
options are highlighted, and pesticide selection advice
is based on least environmental impact. While certain
portions of the guide are specific to Massachusetts,
much of the information is applicable throughout New
England. Initially developed in 1991, this revision for
2006-2007 marks the 8th edition of this popular publication.
