Extension associate Bob Portmess, turfgrass specialist Frank Rossi, and Jennifer Grant, turfgrass and community IPM coordinator at the New York State IPM Program have pooled their talents to produce a new 98-page manual to help golf turf managers reduce their environmental impact and save money.
Based on a long-term field research project the Bethpage State Park Green Course, the manual combines new research findings as well as practical experience to help managers meet the twin goals of healthy turf and environmental sustainability by adopting cultural practices and pest management systems that are less reliant on pesticides and fertilizers.
The publication is also available in Spanish.
