Development of IPM Elements for Turf Grass: Lawn/Landscape, Sports and Sod Production

Abstract

Turf grass is one of the few New York crops without an IPM management protocol (IPM Element). This project corrects the deficiency and creates Element protocols for sod production (13 farms), sports turf (recreational, public and private school and higher education) and lawnscape (professionally managed residential and commercial lawns with implications for owner use of this element).
