Name some of the factors turfgrass managers must consider when setting pest management
priorities. ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Turfgrass management professionals must consider
human safety, environmental safety, turf use(s), efficacy, and economics.
Why do pest management thresholds in turf vary? ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Pest
thresholds vary from site to site because they depend on site characteristics and uses. For
example, there may be zero tolerance for pests of any sort on a gold green. On the other hand,
there may be no great need to control pests in the grassy areas of an industrial site. However,
setting thresholds in some sites - like a school athletic field or playground - may not be simple
and clear-cut. A thick, uniform surface is ideal for play areas, for optimum utility and safety.
This, in turn, means the tolerance for pests is low. However reliance on pesticide use may not be
acceptable for some recreational sites, especially if the primary users of that site are children.
What is the first, most basic step to take to manage pest problems? Explain your answer. -------
✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Use Best Management Practices (BMPs) for initial design, installation,
and maintenance programs. Begin by selecting high quality, disease- and insect-free turfgrass.
When possible, plant or install resistant varieties. Choosing the right variety for the site and
use(s) is essential. Next, good cultural practices provide the best conditions for plant health.
Why should you focus your attention on key pests, key varieties, or key locations? ------- ✔
CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓They are most likely to cause problems. Key pests, varieties, and
locations require special monitoring and care.
What is a "key pest"? ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓A key pest is one that often reaches
population densities that justify management, and/or is capable of causing unacceptable
damage at relatively low densities, and/or attacks and damages turfgrass(es) in conspicuous or
valuable areas.
