The UMass Extension Landscape Message, previously
available only by subscription, is now available online for
free!. The message allows landscapers, arborists,
turf managers, and nursery growers to be in touch with local
pest activity on a 24-hour basis. The following information
is available for turf and landscape plant materials:
- What insects are emerging that week
- Disease occurrences and potential disease problems
- Growing degree day reports
- Cultural problems and solutions
- Pest management strategies, including Integrated Pest
Management
A new message is available weekly during the heart of the
growing season, bi-weekly in mid to late summer, and monthly
during the winter months.
A faxed version of the Landscape Message is available by
subscription for $50 per year. Call (413) 545-0895 or e-mail
kcarroll@umext.umass.edu
for details about a fax subscription.
