The size of the campus grounds :
The size of campus grounds that are maintained in accordance with a four-tiered IPM plan :
A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Our total acreage listed includes forests, farms, and the main core of the central campus. The 90 acres portion covers the grounds occupied by building space that is intensely landscaped.
We use a reduced scale of IPM on the campus. We do not apply insecticides or fungicides. Our use is primarily fertilizer and broad leaf weed control.
Other grounds are maintained as turf grass, as farm production/ pasture grounds, or as wildlife habitat with minimal oversight.
The turf grass program can be found here:
