New technology to support your IPM strategy

Explore the latest research and practical approaches shaping integrated pest management (IPM) for golf course management. This seminar looks beyond reliance on plant protection products alone, highlighting how disease-resistant cultivars, balanced nutrition, effective water management and the considered use of plant elicitors can all contribute to healthier, more resilient playing surfaces. Participants will consider how emerging technologies and evidence-based decision-making can support sustainable disease prevention and control, while maintaining course performance and meeting environmental expectations.
