1999 Golf Course IPM Implementation and Demonstration Project in Orange County

Abstract

The Golf Course IPM program housed in Orange County has introduced superintendents in the Hudson Valley to IPM principals and practices over the course of the past five years. Our goals for this year include; investigating life cycle and monitoring techniques for black cutworm; demonstrate the use of nematodes and Mach2 to control black cutworm and Japanese beetle white grubs; participate as a site cooperator in Phyllophaga study; and to expand our established Golf Course Scouting program to include one private course in Orange County.
