Reduced Chemical Golf Course Management
Drs. Frank Rossi and Jennifer Grant, along with Golf Course Superintendents Andy Wilson and Kathie Wegman, will lead a tour and discuss their eleven years of applied research on reduced pesticide and fertilizer use.
Tour the Green Course at Bethpage State Park where conventional, IPM, and reduced-risk tactics for putting greens management are subject to an average 50,000 rounds of play per year.
Also discuss and see reduced-chemical tee, fairway and rough management; what happens without pre-emergent crabgrass applications or broadleaf herbicides; and the use of reduced risk and alternative pest management practices and products.
