IPM is a turf management strategy that promotes all necessary techniques to effectively, economically and in an environmentally sound manner suppress pests and maintain healthy, vibrant lawns. IPM employs a two pronged approach; manage turf grass using proven cultural practices and use “thresholds” to decide how and when to treat pests.

IPM utilizes approved pest control products as well as both Synthetic and Natural Fertilizers. Treatment for pests are only performed when “thresholds” justify it. Recommendations and treatments for the current year can be based upon the previous years’ findings.
