Mejores Prácticas de Gestión
Idiomas disponibles:
Español
Las mejores prácticas de gestión (BMPs por sus siglas en inglés), son procesos y actividades costo-efectivos que mejoran muchos aspectos de la vida diaria, desde la salud al servicio de alimentos. Las mejores prácticas en agricultura apuntan a reducir el uso del agua y los impactos en la calidad del agua en granjas y ranchos mientras se mejora o se cuida el suelo. Algunas prácticas de gestión adicionales están enfocadas en las actividades de silvicultura y cuidado del césped. En Florida., el Departamento de Agricultura y Servicios al Consumidor (FDACS) adopta por mandato manuales específicos de mejores prácticas como parte de las políticas del estado en calidad del agua.

Homeowner Best Management Practices for the Home Lawn
A. J. Lindsey, Marco Schiavon, J. Bryan Unruh, Laurie E. Trenholm, yLaurie Trenholm
A healthy lawn is an important component of an urban landscape.

A healthy lawn effectively filters and traps sediment and pollutants that could otherwise contaminate surface waters and groundwater. This publication is intended for those who maintain their own lawn and landscapes.
