A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Areas are monitored regularly by Grounds staff during mowing and maintenance cycles, especially near graduation and homecoming events. Plants are generally only treated with control substances when significant damage is certain and has the potential to spread to other plants. Often times trees and plantings are intentionally not treated and later replaced with more robust varieties.
Sports fields are treated with chemical fertilizers and grub control pesticides for prevention and are not included in the IPM acreage. Campus lawns are only sprayed only when thresholds are exceeded and then usually during extended academic breaks so that students have limited contact with these chemicals around campus.
