The Division of Parks and Recreatio uses chemical control with
biological , cultural , and mechanica controls to reduce pests to an
acceptable level . The Conservatory and Golf Courses require intensive
pest control measures. At the othe end of the pest management spectrum
are low maintenance areas. There a e many different approaches to pest
control on these sites according to the economic and aesthetic values of
the site, availability of labor and equipment, and environmental and
safety concerns.
Our chemical programs use materials recommended and approved under Federal
and State of Minnesota regulations. Materials are applied under the
supervision of certified licensed p rsonnel .
Warning signs will be posted at all sites where chemicals are applied as
required in the above Ordinance. S �ns will also be posted in strategic
locations within buildings on a che ically treated site, such as inside
the golf course clubhouse at the ca h register.
Lloyd Burkholder, Supt. of Maintena ce, and supervisory personnel who are
responsible for the chemical progra s will be available to answer
questions at meetings when the Coun il or Council committees review this
program. If you have questions or eed additional information, please

1. Round Up Herbicide
Control - Vegetation along perimeter electrical fences in

Applied at label reco endations.
Conservatory
Public Displays - Palm Dome, North & S uth Wings, Fern Room, and #6 House
Insecticides once per month (if eeded) and/or during week of show change
(South Wing & #6 House) . No her icides, very little fungieides or
fertilizers. Very prominent sig age used. During non-public hours only;
well ventilated afterward.
Growing Greenhouses - #1, #2, #3, #5, 7, #8, and Hoop Houses
Fertilizers applied once each we k. Many crops will not grow properly
without these regular feedings. Some require special fertilizers, i .e. ,
to maintain correct soil acidity Very young cuttings and seedlings
have the soil media soaked with ungicides to control diseases.
Insecticides are applied on an a needed basis. Applications normally
occur as a three application ser'es, i .e. , three sprayings over a 10 day
period. Herbicides are not used indoors.
Outdoor Areas - Japanese Garden and Fl wer Beds
Weed control is the most difficult problem in the Japanese Garden.
Consequently, herbicide use is mo tly in this area. Use of the garden
is carefully controlled during th se times and is limited to May and June.
These herbicides are very selecti e and 2, 4, & D types are not used due
to the danger to desirable plant aterials. Likewise, insecticides and
fungicides are applied only the e rly part of the growing season (May & June) .
Flower beds are fertilized at the time of soil preparation (May and June).
Herbicides applied are only once fter planting and is limited to a pre-
emergency type (prevents weed see from germinating). Other pesticides
are seldom used.
