- Format of Audiovisual: Video tape
- Brief description of material:
- Although produced in the Rocky Mountain Region, the video
covers the basics of lawn pest management. Emphasizes to
the homeowner sound management practices. Good lawn
management begins with the right kind of soil composition
that will lend itself to a healthy lawn. Aeration is one
of the best tools to encourage root vigor. Too high
amounts of nitrogen will cause early greening and may
also cause disease because of reduced root production. By
managing minerals and irrigation pest problems can be
reduced. Mowing should not remove more than one third of
its full height. When pests are present make sure, they
are properly identified. Pesticides can be used, but are
often just a treatment to the symptoms not the problem. A
healthy lawn is a beautiful natural resource that is
possible through an integrated approach of management.
