New Pesticide Alternatives Brochure

With assistance by the Ontario Horticultural Trades Foundation, the Ontario Turfgrass Research Foundation has produced a two-page scientific literature review of alternative pest controls for turf in Ontario

This scientific review was conducted by the University of Guelph, based on scientifically published information  prior to 2008. This review will be updated on a continual basis as additional alternatives are scientifically proven and released in scientific journals.  This brochure, intended to be consumer user friendly, has instructions and tips on product application specific to target pests. It also has current recommendations for lawn maintenance on how to out-compete weeds for a healthy lawn. A printed copy is available through the Guelph Turfgrass Institute or Landscape Ontario.
