The most complete guide to ecological turf
management
Turf managers face growing restrictions on their use of
chemical controls by local, regional, state, and in some
cases federal regulation or banning. Managing Healthy
Sports Fields offers modern turf managers a variety of
alternative methods to chemical treatments that effectively
control a wide variety of pests, weeds, and diseases.
Every alternative method is easily adaptable to existing
maintenance programs, regardless of specific field type,
climatic zone, or appearance.
The nonchemical control methods presented in this accessible
guide promote the safety of people and animals, and
don’t jeopardize the sustainability of the land. In
addition, every turf manager can implement these strategies
without sacrificing the lush, green turf they strive
to cultivate. In most cases, these alternative methods
have encouraged healthier turf.
Written by an industry leader with nearly two decades
of experience, Managing Healthy Sports Fields includes:
Maintenance methods for and advice on all sports fields,
including soccer, football, baseball, and lacrosse
Realistic steps to managing with earth-conscious sensibilities
Chemical-free alternatives for soil fertility and pest
control
Dozens of helpful illustrations and tables
Managing Healthy Sports Fields is an essential volume
for managers and superintendents of sports fields and
facilities who want to reduce and cease using chemical
fertilizers and pesticides while growing high-quality
turfgrass.
