Integrated plant management is the science and art of growing healthy turf to ensure sound environmental health and to enhance the game. Best management practices, continuing education, research and technology are important elements of an integrated approach for golf course superintendents. The Institute and GCSAA support these elements to ensure sound environmental stewardship on the golf course.
