Written by three of the top professionals in the turfgrass field,
Managing Turfgrass Pests, Second Edition brings together hundreds
of solutions and best practices to help you manage turfgrass weeds,
diseases, and insects more effectively. Since the publication of
the bestselling first edition, advances in pest-resistant turfgrass
cultivars and pest control products have led to significant changes
in the ways pests are managed. This revised and updated second
edition reinforces those management tactics that are still relevant
and covers new approaches that have been introduced since the first
edition. The book discusses the concept of integrated pest
management, incorporating cultural, biological, and chemical
control measures. In particular, the authors emphasize the
philosophy of minimizing pests through well-defined and
well-implemented cultural systems. Rather than simply relying on a
pesticide solution for control, they explain how to fine-tune
cultural practices to better address the question of why the pest
is present in the first place. Once these cultural practices are in
place, any pesticide that is still required will be much more
effective at controlling the pest. New in This Edition Revised and

and functional turf. Throughout, the authors offer practical
recommendations to help you optimize the competitiveness of your
turfgrass against the pests that inevitably become part of any
ecosystem.
