BASF Turf & Ornamentals has published a free pest management guide to help nursery, greenhouse and turf maintenance professionals select the most effective solutions for a variety of pest management challenges. Interested growers can order their guide at the BASF ornamentals-focused Web site, www.betterplants.com.
“As an innovative leader in the pest management industry, BASF is committed to helping turf and ornamental professionals make informed decisions about which products will best meet their needs. This guide accomplishes that and helps growers yield better plants,” says Toni Bucci, Ph.D., BASF Turf & Ornamentals business manager.
The guide addresses fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.
