A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
The University of Pennsylvania manages its grounds using guidelines that responsibly implement plant selection, compost tea applications, use of natural predators (like lady bugs to control an aphid population), leaf composting, and limited use of synthetic pesticides and herbicide applications. All site work is carefully studied to provide the best environment for our plant communities which results in little to no pest infestations.
