1998 I.P.M. PROGRAM
The l.P.M. Program for tha Division of Parks and Recreation consists of four (4} types of control:
Genetic control. Whenever possible, the Division uses plants that have a genetic resistance
to the more common diseases in this area.
2. Biotogical confrol. Wherever possib(e, the Division employs methods that preserve,
complement, and augment the biological controls that nature already 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 Consenratory, as the confined space lends itself well to this
type of control.
3. Cultural control. This control is the most widely used and is adaptable to all 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.
-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 cycie
This type of control is best suited to the prevention of a pest buiidup rather then correcting
an existing pest probiem so it can not be used in all circumstances.
4. Chemical controi. 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 threshoid varies
from one location to another. For example, park areas can withstand greater aesthetic
injury than the goif courses or the Conservatory can befiore 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 wili accidentaily come into contact with a large quantity of a chemicai.
Golf Courses
Aii Areas
-As newer, safer and more efficient chemicals become availabie we phase out the older
pesticide products. A resuit of using these new chemicais is better control of pests with
less pesticide being appiied.
-Small areas of unwanted weeds are removed mechanicaily rather than with herbicides
as was our previous practice.
Natural Areas
-Active disease management is not done in these areas. These areas are aliowed 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 only
controiled when plant populations exceed desirability for the game of goif. Outbreaks
of algae growth are also controlied, because of the possibility they could clog the
pumps used for irrigation.
Parks and Recreation
1998 I.P.M. Program
Page 2 of 3
�s-���
Roughs
-Trees and shrubs are fiertilized, trimmed and cultivated.
-All grass in these areas are cut ai a heighi which naturaily 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 controlled by cutting are
sprayed with herbicide.
Fairways
-Ali grass is cut at a height determined by desired piay ot the golf ball. For golfers to be
abie to make required shots trom varied distances to the greens, the turf must be in the
proper condition.
-Ali fairway turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the raats, 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.
-All fairnray 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 mechanicaily aerated once a year.
-Fungai invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicide rinsate from the spray rig after spraying greens and tees.
Tees
-Tees require that grass be cut much shorter than fainnrays, which resufts in more stress
on turf. Gouging of turf by golfers and goifer traffic also results in more stress on turt.
-Ail tee turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oaygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turf and to ai{eviate compaction. This resuits in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, resuits in less chemical use.
-Broadieaf 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.
-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 goif bali 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 tum, results in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungal invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Greens are mechanicaily 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.

°��-4X1
The Division is switching from using Roundup around trees to control 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 firom being damaged by weed whips and
mowers).
Trapping rather than chemical control is used to controi rodents in buildings.
Ghemicais are oniy used on as needed basis.
Forestrv
- 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 horticulturai staff use cuftural, biologicai, mechanical, physical and
chemical methods to produce the highest quality pubfic dispiays. Maintaining heaRh
throughout the lives of the plants reduces the need to use pesticides. Appropriate fertilization
with properly formulated fertilizers is integral to maintaining plant health. IPM practices are
utilized throughout the Como Park Conservatory operations. Consultants from the University of
Minnesota and ihe Minnesota Department of Agriculture assist in the IPM program.
Insecticides, fungicides, and piant growth regulators are applied by Minnesota Department of
Agriculture licensed appiicators.
Midway 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 fieid, and little or
no spraying on outside grounds.
-Increased height of cut to reduce sunlight for emerging weeds, thus hindering their growth.
-Fungicide applications used reactive versus preventative.
-Mechanical weed remova{ in agrilime areas rather than chemical.
Building
-Use of trapping for mice rather than chemicai.

Como Parlc Conservatory Gardeners, Lead Gardeners, and Manager are licensed pesticide
applicators and are the only staff members who handfe and apply pesticides. OSHA
posting regulations are foilowed during applications. Fertilizers are appiied to crops and
dispiays through a non-potabie water system which is permitted by ihe State of Minnesota
Department of Agriculture (Chemigation Permit).
IPM practices are utilized in all parts of the Conservatory operations.
Public Displavs
Insecticides and other pesticides are appiied only when the park is closed to the pubiic and
in very limited circumstances. Pesticides that degrade rapidly are utilized, such as light oils
and soaps, so that there is no danger ofi residual exposure to the public. Seasonal flowers
are treated at least one week before being moved into public display areas. (Rodent and
roach control in Conservatory public areas are under contract to Plunkett's Pest Control
Service.)

1998 I.P.M. PROGRAM
The l.P.M. Program for tha Division of Parks and Recreation consists of four (4} types of control:
Genetic control. Whenever possible, the Division uses plants that have a genetic resistance
to the more common diseases in this area.
2. Biotogical confrol. Wherever possib(e, the Division employs methods that preserve,
complement, and augment the biological controls that nature already 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 Consenratory, as the confined space lends itself well to this
type of control.
3. Cultural control. This control is the most widely used and is adaptable to all 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.
-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 cycie
This type of control is best suited to the prevention of a pest buiidup rather then correcting
an existing pest probiem so it can not be used in all circumstances.
4. Chemical controi. 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 threshoid varies
from one location to another. For example, park areas can withstand greater aesthetic
injury than the goif courses or the Conservatory can befiore 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 wili accidentaily come into contact with a large quantity of a chemicai.
Golf Courses
Aii Areas
-As newer, safer and more efficient chemicals become availabie we phase out the older
pesticide products. A resuit of using these new chemicais is better control of pests with
less pesticide being appiied.
-Small areas of unwanted weeds are removed mechanicaily rather than with herbicides
as was our previous practice.
Natural Areas
-Active disease management is not done in these areas. These areas are aliowed 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 only
controiled when plant populations exceed desirability for the game of goif. Outbreaks
of algae growth are also controlied, because of the possibility they could clog the
pumps used for irrigation.
Parks and Recreation
1998 I.P.M. Program
Page 2 of 3
�s-���
Roughs
-Trees and shrubs are fiertilized, trimmed and cultivated.
-All grass in these areas are cut ai a heighi which naturaily 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 controlled by cutting are
sprayed with herbicide.
Fairways
-Ali grass is cut at a height determined by desired piay ot the golf ball. For golfers to be
abie to make required shots trom varied distances to the greens, the turf must be in the
proper condition.
-Ali fairway turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the raats, 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.
-All fairnray 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 mechanicaily aerated once a year.
-Fungai invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicide rinsate from the spray rig after spraying greens and tees.
Tees
-Tees require that grass be cut much shorter than fainnrays, which resufts in more stress
on turf. Gouging of turf by golfers and goifer traffic also results in more stress on turt.
-Ail tee turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oaygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turf and to ai{eviate compaction. This resuits in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, resuits in less chemical use.
-Broadieaf 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.
-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 goif bali 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 tum, results in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungal invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Greens are mechanicaily 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.

°��-4X1
The Division is switching from using Roundup around trees to control 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 firom being damaged by weed whips and
mowers).
Trapping rather than chemical control is used to controi rodents in buildings.
Ghemicais are oniy used on as needed basis.
Forestrv
- 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 horticulturai staff use cuftural, biologicai, mechanical, physical and
chemical methods to produce the highest quality pubfic dispiays. Maintaining heaRh
throughout the lives of the plants reduces the need to use pesticides. Appropriate fertilization
with properly formulated fertilizers is integral to maintaining plant health. IPM practices are
utilized throughout the Como Park Conservatory operations. Consultants from the University of
Minnesota and ihe Minnesota Department of Agriculture assist in the IPM program.
Insecticides, fungicides, and piant growth regulators are applied by Minnesota Department of
Agriculture licensed appiicators.
Midway 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 fieid, and little or
no spraying on outside grounds.
-Increased height of cut to reduce sunlight for emerging weeds, thus hindering their growth.
-Fungicide applications used reactive versus preventative.
-Mechanical weed remova{ in agrilime areas rather than chemical.
Building
-Use of trapping for mice rather than chemicai.

Como Parlc Conservatory Gardeners, Lead Gardeners, and Manager are licensed pesticide
applicators and are the only staff members who handfe and apply pesticides. OSHA
posting regulations are foilowed during applications. Fertilizers are appiied to crops and
dispiays through a non-potabie water system which is permitted by ihe State of Minnesota
Department of Agriculture (Chemigation Permit).
IPM practices are utilized in all parts of the Conservatory operations.
Public Displavs
Insecticides and other pesticides are appiied only when the park is closed to the pubiic and
in very limited circumstances. Pesticides that degrade rapidly are utilized, such as light oils
and soaps, so that there is no danger ofi residual exposure to the public. Seasonal flowers
are treated at least one week before being moved into public display areas. (Rodent and
roach control in Conservatory public areas are under contract to Plunkett's Pest Control
Service.)

1998 I.P.M. PROGRAM
The l.P.M. Program for tha Division of Parks and Recreation consists of four (4} types of control:
Genetic control. Whenever possible, the Division uses plants that have a genetic resistance
to the more common diseases in this area.
2. Biotogical confrol. Wherever possib(e, the Division employs methods that preserve,
complement, and augment the biological controls that nature already 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 Consenratory, as the confined space lends itself well to this
type of control.
3. Cultural control. This control is the most widely used and is adaptable to all 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.
-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 cycie
This type of control is best suited to the prevention of a pest buiidup rather then correcting
an existing pest probiem so it can not be used in all circumstances.
4. Chemical controi. 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 threshoid varies
from one location to another. For example, park areas can withstand greater aesthetic
injury than the goif courses or the Conservatory can befiore 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 wili accidentaily come into contact with a large quantity of a chemicai.
Golf Courses
Aii Areas
-As newer, safer and more efficient chemicals become availabie we phase out the older
pesticide products. A resuit of using these new chemicais is better control of pests with
less pesticide being appiied.
-Small areas of unwanted weeds are removed mechanicaily rather than with herbicides
as was our previous practice.
Natural Areas
-Active disease management is not done in these areas. These areas are aliowed 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 only
controiled when plant populations exceed desirability for the game of goif. Outbreaks
of algae growth are also controlied, because of the possibility they could clog the
pumps used for irrigation.
Parks and Recreation
1998 I.P.M. Program
Page 2 of 3
�s-���
Roughs
-Trees and shrubs are fiertilized, trimmed and cultivated.
-All grass in these areas are cut ai a heighi which naturaily 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 controlled by cutting are
sprayed with herbicide.
Fairways
-Ali grass is cut at a height determined by desired piay ot the golf ball. For golfers to be
abie to make required shots trom varied distances to the greens, the turf must be in the
proper condition.
-Ali fairway turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oxygen to the raats, 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.
-All fairnray 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 mechanicaily aerated once a year.
-Fungai invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicide rinsate from the spray rig after spraying greens and tees.
Tees
-Tees require that grass be cut much shorter than fainnrays, which resufts in more stress
on turf. Gouging of turf by golfers and goifer traffic also results in more stress on turt.
-Ail tee turf is fertilized, aerated and verticut to get oaygen to the roots, promote
development of dense quality turf and to ai{eviate compaction. This resuits in a
healthier more disease resistant turf, which in turn, resuits in less chemical use.
-Broadieaf 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.
-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 goif bali 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 tum, results in less chemical use.
-Broadleaf and grassy weeds not controlled by cutting are sprayed with herbicide.
-Fungal invasions not controlied by cutting, adjusting irrigation or fertilization; are
controlled with fungicides.
-Greens are mechanicaily 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.

°��-4X1
The Division is switching from using Roundup around trees to control 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 firom being damaged by weed whips and
mowers).
Trapping rather than chemical control is used to controi rodents in buildings.
Ghemicais are oniy used on as needed basis.
Forestrv
- 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 horticulturai staff use cuftural, biologicai, mechanical, physical and
chemical methods to produce the highest quality pubfic dispiays. Maintaining heaRh
throughout the lives of the plants reduces the need to use pesticides. Appropriate fertilization
with properly formulated fertilizers is integral to maintaining plant health. IPM practices are
utilized throughout the Como Park Conservatory operations. Consultants from the University of
Minnesota and ihe Minnesota Department of Agriculture assist in the IPM program.
Insecticides, fungicides, and piant growth regulators are applied by Minnesota Department of
Agriculture licensed appiicators.
Midway 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 fieid, and little or
no spraying on outside grounds.
-Increased height of cut to reduce sunlight for emerging weeds, thus hindering their growth.
-Fungicide applications used reactive versus preventative.
-Mechanical weed remova{ in agrilime areas rather than chemical.
Building
-Use of trapping for mice rather than chemicai.
