“Pesticides have an ever-decreasing role in an IPM program.  Most pests need food, water and shelter.  Reduce these and you reduce pests, as well as the need for pesticides.  The three most important cultural practices for preventing weeds in turf are mowing, fertilization and irrigation.  The less weeds, the less need for pesticides.”  Tim Stock, OSU School IPM Program Director
