SUBJECT: 1995 Pesticide Program
Attached, piease find the Division of Parks and Recreation's 1995 Pesticide Program. I wouid
request that it be reviewed and approved by the City Councii as specified in Section 1 ofi Ordinance
No. 17370, Council �ile No. 86-792 at your earliest opportunity.
Also attached, is the Integrated Pest Management (i.P.M.) program that the Division will use in its
efforts to reduce pests to an acceptable level. The methods used include biological, cuiturai, and
mechanical pest and disease control methods as well as chemical control.
The Saint Paul park system encompasses over 4,000 acres of land, and most of this area requires
little, if any, pest or disease management control measures. The Conservatory and portions of the
Golf Courses, which comprise less then 100 acres, are the only areas that require intensive pest
control measures.
The determination to control pests on a site is based on the economic and aesthetic values of the
site, availability of labor and equipment, and environmental and safety concerns.
When chemical control is determined to be the most appropriate control method to use, only
materials recommended and approved under Federal and State of Minnesota regulations are used.
These materials are then applied under the direct supervision of certified and licensed personnel.
Warning signs will be posted at ail sites where chemicals are applied as required by the above
Ordinance. 5igns wili also be posted in strategic locations within buildings on a chemically treated
site, such as inside the golf course clubhouse at the cash register.
Ed Olsen, and supervisory personnel who are responsibfe forthe chemicaf programs will be
available to answer questions at meetings when the Council or Council committees review this
program. if you have questions or need additional information, piease contact Mr. Olsen, at 488-
7291.
Thank you for your consideration of the Division of Parks and Recreatio�'s 1995
Pesticide Program.

ST. PAUL PARKS AND RECREATION D1VISION 9����
1995 I.P.M. PROGRAM
The I.P.M. Program for the Division of Parks and Recreation consists of four {4) types of
control:
1. Genetic control. Whenever possible, the Division uses plants that have a genetic
resistance to the more common diseases in this area.
2. Biological control. Wherever possible, the Division employs methods that preserve,
complement, and augment the bio4ogical controls that nature a4ready has in place. This
control consists of using natural predators, or natural diseases to control a pest.
This type of control is usually done in the Conservatory, as the confined space lends
itseif well to this type of control.
3. Cultural control. This control is the most widefy used and is adaptable to afl parts of the
Division. The following methods are used with this type of control:
-Maintaining a healthy plant by proper fertilization and watering.
-Using correct pruning and cutting practices.
-Where ever possible, plant diversification is used to avoid a concentration of one type of
pfant in one location.
-Mulching to retain moisture and eliminating weed growth.
-Reducing the mowing cycle
This type of control is best suited to the prevention of a pest buiidup rather then correcting
an existing pest problem so it can not be used in a11 circumstances.
4. Chemical control. The Division uses pesticides only when the aesthetic injury to the plant
is more then can be tolerated in that particular location. The aesthetic injury threshold
varies from one location to another. For example, park areas can withstand greater
aesthetic injury than tfie golf courses or the Conservatory can before controi is necessary.
This difference is taken into account before a decision is made to control a pest. The
Division uses pesticides that targets a specific pest, rather than using a pesticide that
attacks a broad range of pests. Whenever possible, pesticides with the lowest toxicity are
used. This reduces the chance of someone being subjected to a lethal dose of pesticides,
as it is unlikely that someone wiil accidentally come into contact wiih a large quantity of a
chemical.
Golf Courses
All Areas
-As newer, safer and more efficient.ch,emicals become available we phase out the
oider pesticide products. A result of using these new chemicals is better control of
pests with less pesticide being app4ied,
-Small areas of unwanted weeds are removed mechanically rather than with
herbicides as was our previous practice.
Natural Areas
-Active disease rrianagement is not done in these areas. These areas are allowed to
stay in a state where native grasses and vegetation is encouraged to thrive.
Pond Areas
-Active disease management is not done in natural ponds. These areas are allowed to
stay in a state where native vegetation is encouraged #o thrive, except for severe
outbreaks of afgae growth which could clog pumps used for irrigatfon.

1995 I.P.M. Program
Page 2 of 3
gSy ��
Roughs
-Trees and shrubs are fertilized, trimmed and cultivated.
-All grass in these areas are cut at a height which naturally inhibits weed growth.
-No irrigation is done except in heavy play areas or where new grass has been laid.
-No disease control is done, however, broadleaf weeds not controiled by cutting are
sprayed with herbicide.
Fairways
-All grass is cut at a height determined by desired play of the golf ball. For golfers to be
able to make required shots from varied distances to the greens, the turf must be in the
proper cond'+tion.
-All fainrray turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turf and to alleviate compaetion. This resuits in a
healthier more disease resistant turt, which in turn, results in less chemical use.
-All fairway turf is irrigated. Frequency is determined by need and the weather.
-Broadieaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fairways are mechanically aerated once a year.
-Fungal diseases of the turf are not controfled unless complete loss of turf is involved.
Rinsate from the spray rig after spraying greens and tees is used on any problem areas.
Tees
-Tees require that grass be cut much shorter than fairways, which results in more stress
on turt. Gouging of turf by golfers and goffer traffic also results in more stress on turf.
-All tee turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
devefopment of dense quafity turf and to alieviate compaction. This results in a
healihier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, resuits in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungal invasions not controlled by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Tees are mechanically aerated twice a year.
-Ail tee grass is irrigated. Frequency is determined by turt need and the weather.
Greens
-Greens are the most highly maintained areas on the golf course. The greens are cut
extremely_ short on a daily basis, so that a golf ball can be putted accurately. This
results in a a tremendous amount of stress on this turf.
-All greens turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
developm,ent of dense qualiiy turf and to alleviate compaction. This results in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, results in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungal invasions not controiled by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Greens are mechanically aerated twice a year and water aerated three times a year.
-Greens a"re irrigated. Frequency is determined by need and the weather.
Parks and Recreatian Areas
- Cutting grass as often as possible using a Jarger rotary mower, to control weeds.
- Little or no spraying is done ta control weeds (or aesfhetic reasons.
- No spraying for dandelions is done on any parkways, Recreation Centers, Parks, etc.

qs-�r�
-The Division is switching from using Roundup around trees to controf unwanted grass
and weeds, to using a mulch base or cultivating around the base of trees. (A clear area is
needed at the base of trees to protect them from being damaged by weed whips and
mowers).
-Trappi�g rather than chemica! control is used to control rodents in buildings.
-Chemicals are on4y used on as needed basis.
Forestrv
-Chemicafs are only used when there is a danger of an disease or insect epidemic. No
spraying is done for aesthetic reasons.
[. - ..
Chemical application in the greenhouse setting is an integral part of the operation. Fertilizers
suppiy necessary nutrients fior proper growth; insecticides help control a large range of
destructive insects; fungicides are used to control various plant diseases; herbicides help
control unwanted plant growth. The Conservatory uses cultural, biological, mechanical,
physicai and chemical controls to arrive at the best method of reducing pest damage to
acceptabie levels. The acceptable level of pests is decided on and managed by resistance of
various plants, cuitural practice, type of predator or pest, and chemical application. In 1995,
the staff will be working with at least two companies to further develop predator insect
programs.

Pesticide applications are made by personnel who have received current and
approved EPA & OSHA training. All staff assigned to Greenhouse operations have an
updated (1995) Minnesota Applicators license. Only these nine staff inembers are
ailowed to handle chemicals. Office staff, volunteers, students and others are not
allowed to handfe chemicals or be exposed to treated areas. The Conservatory holds
a Chemigation Permit to apply chemicals through the waterlines in the Conservatory.
These waterlines are not connected #o the potable water system. They are inspected
annually and protected by an RPZ-Backflow prevention device.
Public Displavs - Pa1m Dome, North & South Wings, Fern Room and #6 House
Insecticides are applied by spot spray as needed. No herbicides are used and very
littie fungicides are applied. Very prominent signage is used to alert the public and
staff of pesticide treatments. Due to.the close proximity of the public ali pesticide and
fertilizer applications, are done. during non-public hours. Only a limited number of
chemicals are used in those areas normally visited by the public. Seasonal plants are
treated at least one week before being put on display. In case of a problem while on
display, the necessary chemicals are used on a very limited basis. More likely, the
infected plant material is disposed of. Permanent plants are generally treated only on
an as needed basis. We are trying to be Bio-Rafional in our application of fertilizer
pesticides/predato rs.
All New Growing Greenhouse - Bays #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8
Fertilizers are applied as needed. Many crops will not grow properly without these
regular feedings. Some plants require special fertilizers, i.e., to maintain correct soil
acidity. Very young cuttings and seedfings have the soii media soaked with fungicides
to control diseases. Insecticides are app{ied on an as needed basis. Herbicides are
not used indoors.

Outdoor Areas - Japanese Garden and Flower Beds
�.r-��y
Weed control is the most difficult problem in the Japanese Garden. Consequently,
most herbicide use is in this area. Use of the garden is carefully controiled during
these times and application is limited to May and June. These herbicides are very
seiective and 2- 4- D types are not used due to ihe danger to desirable plant
materiafs. Likewise, insecticides and fungicides are applied oniy during the eariy part
of the growing season (May & June, when they are most effective). Flower beds are
fertilized at the time of soil preparation (May & June), and herbicides are applied only
once after planting and are limited to a pre-emergence type (prevents weed seed fram
germinating). Other pesticides are seldom used.
