Insect and Disease Control. Contractor shall be responsible for weekly inspections of the entire property and treatment of any insect or disease related problems. WATER Contractor shall be responsible for monitoring the moisture levels in bed areas. Contractor shall be responsible for replacement of damaged or dead plants that occur during this contract period.
Insect and Disease Control a. See SectionIV-F-8.
Insect and Disease Control a. All turf grass and landscape areas shall be maintained free from insects and diseases.
Insect and Disease Control. All landscape beds shall be monitored and treated with appropriate baits as needed throughout the year.Any infestations will be treated on an as needed basis. Plants will be monitored and issues addressed as necessary to effectively control insect infestation and disease as environmental, horticultural and weather conditions permit.
Insect and Disease Control. Inspect trees, for disease and insect problems during each monthly maintenance visit. If present, consult with the County Agent to identify the disease and insects present and provide the treatment recommended by the County Agent.
Insect and Disease Control. A. A certified supervisor employed by the Contractor shall conduct visual inspections monthly, April through September, to monitor for evidence of destructive turf pests and conduct additional sampling as necessary to confirm the presence of such pests. Applications of insecticide to turf areas are to be limited to locations where unacceptable levels of activity have been identified in an effort to preserve populations of beneficial insects and nematodes.
Insect and Disease Control. If necessary, the Contractor with a licensed pest control personal shall apply a approved insecticide or fungicide when needed.
Insect and Disease Control. All plant material will be fertilized with a balanced slow release fertilizer in the dormant season and supplemented throughout the year as necessary to maintain vigorous healthy plant material. Plant material is to be inspected on a weekly basis to detect potential infestations of insects and/or disease.
Insect and Disease Control. The OPERATOR agrees to carry out all approved practices for the control and eradication of corn borer, rootworm, and other crop insects, pests and diseased, as may be necessary, at his own cost, unless otherwise specified herein, or in writing by the OWNER.
Insect and Disease Control. As with the case for fire protection, carbon credits could be generated through protecting the forest from insects and disease. For example, the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association recently estimated that control of forest insects through the application of biological agents could result in the sequestering of an additional 6 million tonnes of carbon nationally (CPPA 1998). Saskatchewan is in the early stages of a spruce budworm outbreak and has recently implemented an aggressive budworm control program. Credits could be generated as a result of the carbon emissions prevented from such a control program. We currently do not have data on how much emissions have been reduced through budworm control, but will have these data by the end of 1999. References Alemdag, I.S. 1983.
