This Green Shield Certified (GSC) for Landscapes and Midwest Grows Green (MGG) Lawn & Land Forum webinar will draw on Dr. Doug Richmond’s more than two decades of applied research in insect ecology and management to provide participants with a modern overview of sustainable insect management alternatives for turfgrass systems. The discussion will outline a systems approach for integrating cultural, biological and low impact chemical tools to reduce the ecological footprint of managed turf.
Dr. Richmond leads the Soil Insect Ecology Lab at Purdue University. This presentation qualifies for pesticide applicator license continuing education units in the states of FL, MI, OH, KS and more.
