design and plant native prairie grasses and plants and eco-friendly
mowing. |

Eco-Lawn
Organics creates a living soil that in turn supports the plant, in
this case cool season grasses, to thrive in a healthy environment,
becoming disease and drought resistent while giving you peace of mind. |
| |
What is
your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
Using insects
to control populations of other insects, creating a natural balance. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
Mostly the pests
we deal with are grubs. We use predatory nematodes to reduce the grub
populations so no stress is created on the lawn. |
|
How
are pest problems identified? |
|
Grubs leave dead
grass in particular patterns. we most definitely monitor before and
after we apply nematodes. We monitored by keeping track of the growth
of grass in the once infected area of the lawn. |
|
What practices
do you use to prevent and/or control pests? |
|
Nemotodes
for grubs and compost tea also for grubs and other pests. Also we
use diatomaceous earth. |
|
Do you
use biological controls? |
|
Nematodes,
milky spore and beneficial bacteria and fungi. |
|
Do you
use synthetic chemicals? |
|
NO-NEVER any.
Synthetic chemicalswill kill the microbial life we work hard to establish. |
|
What
are the top 10 pesticides you use/sell/recommend? |
|
If pesticides are used, how much are used per year of each? |
|
Does
your company perform habitat modification? |
|
Do you
use any physical or mechanical controls? |
|
We do aeration
and we mow electrically. |
|
What
type of fertilizers do you use/sell/recommend? |
|
Compost
tea, compost, humic acid, corn
gluten, green sand. |
|
What
do you usually use/sell/recommend for addressing: |
|
other |
reducing the
photosynthesis of undesired plants/weeds |
|
How do
you evaluate effectiveness of your pest management |
|
Superior! because
it's nature working in balance with nature. Any synthetic will disrupt
that balance so they can't be used not even a little! |
