A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Facilities Management at Bowdoin monitors all turf areas and landscape materials for pests, weeds, fungus, etc. and reacts to what they find. Certain areas have greater monitoring than others, such as athletic fields, main quad, and around other academic buildings. These areas have a lower threshold of tolerance for pests, etc and get treated accordingly. Bowdoin's Facilities Managment cultural practices are such to maintain healthy plants or dense turf to prevent weeds or pests an opportunity to get established. Some examples of this plan are; trimming trees, fertilizing turf, aerating lawns, and maintaining proper moisture levels in the soil to help maintain healthy plants.
