SUBJECT:
Robert P. Piram, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation
1995 Pesticide Program
Attached, please find the Division of Parks and Recreation's 1996 Pesticide Program. I
would request that it be reviewed and approved by the City Council as specified in
Section 1 of Ordinance No. 17370, Council File No. 86-792 at your eariiest 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
biologicai, cultural, and mechanical pest and disease controi methods as weil as chemical
controi.
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 ofi the Golf Courses, which comprise less then 100 acres, are the only areas
that require intensive pest controi 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
only materials recommended and approved under Federal and State of
regulations are used. These materials are then applied by certified and
personnel.

licensed
Warning signs wili be posted at all sites where chemicais are applied as required by the
above Ordinance. Signs will aiso be posted in strategic locations within buildings on a
chemically treated site, such as inside the go{f course clubhouse at the cash register.
Ed Olsen, and supervisory personnel who are responsible for the chemical programs will
be avai{abie to answer questions at meetings when the Council or Council committees
review this program. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact
Mr. Olsen, at 488-7291.
Thank you for your consideration of the Division of Parks and Recreation's 1996 Pesticide

ST. PAUL PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION
qt-a.oG
1996 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 p(ants that have a genetic
resistance to the more common diseases in this area.
2. Biological controi. Wherever possible, the Division employs methods that preserve,
compiement, and augment the biologicai controis that nature already has in place. This
control consists of using naturai predators, or natural diseases to control a pest.
This type of control is usuaily done in the Conseroatory, as the confined space lends
itself well to this type of controi.
3. Cultural control. This control is the most widely used and is adaptable to all parts of the
Division. The foliowing methods are used with this type of control:
-Maintaining a healthy plant by proper fertilization and watering.
-Using correct pruning and cutting practices.
-Wherever possible, plant diversification is used to avoid a concentration of one type of
plant in one location.
-Muiching to retain moisture and eliminating weed growth.
-Reducing the mowing cycle
This type of control is best suited to the prevention of a pest buildup rather then correcting
an existing pest problem so it can not be used in all circumstances.
4. Chemical control. The Division uses pesticides only when the aesthetic injury to the plant
is more then can be toierated in that particuiar iocation. The aesthetic injury threshold
varies from one location to another. For exampie, park areas can withstand greater
aesthetic injury than the golf courses or the Conservatory can before control 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 large dose of pesticides,
as it is unlikely that someone will accidentally come into contact with a large quantity of a
chemicai.
Golf Courses
Ail Areas
-As newer, safer and more efficient chemicals become availabie we phase out the
older pesticide products. A result of using these new chemicais is better controi of
pests with iess pesticide being applied.
-Smail areas of unwanted weeds are removed mechanicaliy rather than with
herbicides as was our previous practice.
Natural Areas
-Active disease management 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. Native vegetation is oniy
controlied when plant populations exceed desirability for the game of golf. Outbreaks
af algae growth are also controlied, because of the possibility they cou4d clog the
pumps used for irrigation.
Parks and Recreation
1996 I.P.M. Program
Page 2 of 3
1L - o�}.>��
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 piay areas or where new grass has been faid.
-No disease control is done, however, broadleaf weeds not controlled by cutting are
sprayed with herbicide.
Fairways
-All grass is cut a# a height determined by desired play of the goif ball. For golfers to be
abie to make required shots from varied distances to the greens, the turt must be in the
proper condition.
-All fairway turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turt and to alleviate compaction. This results in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, results in less chemical use.
-Ali fairway turf is irrigated. Frequency is determined by need and the weather.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fairways are mechanicaliy aerated once a year.
-Fungal invasions not controlled by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controiled with fungicide rinsate from the spray rig after spraying greens and tees.
Tees
-Tees require that grass be cut much shorter than fairways, which results in more stress
on turf. Gouging of turf by golfers and golfer traffic also results in more stress on turt.
-All tee turt is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turf and to alleviate compaction. This resuits in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, results in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlied by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungai invasions not controlled by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Tees are mechanicaily aerated twice a year.
-All tee grass is irrigated. Frequency is determined by turf 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 tremendous amount of stress on this turf.
-All greens turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality 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 controlled by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Greens are mechanicaliy aerated twice a year and water aerated three times a year.
-Greens are irrigated. Frequency is determined by need and the weather.
Parks and Recreation Areas
-Cutting grass as often as possible using a larger rotary mower, to control weeds.
- Little or no spraying is done to control weeds for aesthetic reasons.
- No spraying for dandelions is done on any parkways, Recreation Centers, Parks, etc.

-The Division is switching from using Roundup around trees to control unwanted grass
and weeds, to using a mulch base or cuitivating 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).
-Trapping rather than chemicai control is used to control rodents in buiidings.
-Chemicais are only used on as needed basis.
•' �
-Chemicals are only used when there is a danger of an disease or insect epidemic. No
spraying is done for aesthetic reasons.
Conservatorv
Como Park Conservatory horticultural staff use cultural, biological, mechanical, physical and
chemical methods to produce the highest quality public displays. Maintaining heaith
throughout the lives of the plants reduces the need to use pesticides. Appropriate fertilization
with properly formulated fertilizers is integral to maintaining plant heaith. IPM practices are
utilized throughout the Como Park Conservatory operations. Consultants from the University
of Minnesota and the Minnssota Department of Agricu{ture assist in the IPM program.
Insecticides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators are applied by Minnesota Department of
Agriculture licensed applicators.
Midwav Stadium
Turf Areas
- Use of newer and safer chemicals for better control of pests with less pesticides.
- Use of disease resistant varieties of grass seed.
- Promotion of healthy, dense turf through proper fertilization, aeration, irrigation and
frequent mowing to decrease the chances of weed infestation.
- Increased aesthetic threshold before spraying for weeds on the playing field, and little or
no spraying on outside grounds.
- Increased height of cut to reduce sunlight for emerging weeds, thus hindering their
growth.
- Fungicide appiications used reactive versus preventative.
- Mechanical weed removal in agrilime areas rather than chemical.
Building
- Use of trapping for mice rather than chemical.
