| Abstract/Contents: | "The study was conducted in 2 parts: A)5 liquid materials were applied and irrigated in with 3 gal/100 sq. ft with a hand-held sprinkling can, and B)the same 5 liquid material received no artificial irrigation for 48 h. Insecticides were applied to a fairway in Syracuse, NY with a mixed population of R. majalis and P. japonica. Applications were made May 5 (A) and May 9 (B) for the irrigated and non-irrigated treatments, respectively. The fairway consisted of perennial bluegrass (40%), annual bluegrass (40%), and bentgrass (10%). Each experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft X 10 ft. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied in 3 gal. of water with a hand-held sprinkling can. Applications were made in 2 directions within each plot. At treatment times the following environmental and soil conditions existed: air temperature (A) 58 degrees F, (B)49 degrees F; soil temperature (1 inch), 50 degrees F, (3 inch)48 degrees F; soil type, loam; soil pH, 6.0; soil moisture, 1.35 (w/d); water pH, 5.5-6; and partly sunny. Part A received 0.75 inch or rain within 24h after irrigation of treatments. Post-treatment counts were made for A on 16 May (13 days) and 1 Jun (29 days), and for B on 22 May (13 days) and 4 Jun (26 days). Experimental plots were evaluated by cutting a 1 X 10-ft strip lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical sod cutter (depth 2.25 inch) and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Species identifications were determined in the laboratory. Three ft2 samples were taken from each replicate and mean surviving grubs determined per ft2. After 13 days all treatments, whether irrigated or not, gave significantly better control when compared to the untreated check. Irrigation appears to improve the % control at least initially. All materials gave acceptable control (80%) after 26 days except Advantage. No phytoxicity was observed." |
