Pest Management of Turfgrass for Sport and Recreation - OUT OF STOCK
There are very few, if any, recently published Australian reference books devoted entirely to insect and mite pests.
As authors Gary Beehag, Jyri Kaapro and Andrew Manners pen in their Forward to this 312 page book, their aim is to “fill a long-felt need in Australian turfgrass circles for an informative account of the wide range of insect and mite species that regularly cause serious, and at times catastrophic, damage to lawns and sports turfgrass”.
As such, this publication is a great addition to the industry and is a fantastic reference for all Australian turfgrass managers.

VGCSA Turf Management Safety DVD
Occupational health and safety has become a major focal point for the turf industry in recent times and many golf clubs have invested considerable amounts of time, effort and money into ensuring their facilities comply with the gamut of legislation now present.
One of the keys to ensuring a safe working environment is the continual education of course maintenance staff, especially those new to the industry. Working on a golf course poses a number of risks, whether it’s working with potentially dangerous machinery, working outdoors and being exposed to potential skin cancers, being knocked out by errant golf balls or using toxic chemicals as part of turf management spraying programmes.
