| Abstract/Contents: | "Three granular insecticides were evaluated for the control of mole crickets on the bermudagrass fairway of the 10th hole at Fox Squirrel Golf and Country Club in Brunswick County. The test area was showing damage from a moderate infestation prior to treatment. Plots 16 ft x 75 ft were established and treatments were randomly assigned with four replicates. Surface broadcast treatments were applied using a standard push-type Lesco fertilizer spreader to deliver a weighed portion of chemical to the broadcast plots. All other treatments were applied using a tractor drawn Gandy slit-seeder modified for granular formulation application and operating at 1.9 mph. Subsurface treatments were applied on 18 Aug and surface treatments were applied the following day. Soil was moist from rain the night of the 17th. Air temperature was 88 degrees F and soil temperature was 84 degrees F. Soil type was mineral with 0.9% humic matter and a pH of 6.1. The test area was irrigated with 0.5 inch of water after the chemicals were applied. Plots were evaluated for fresh damage on 1 Sep (14 DAT) and 15 Sep (21 DAT). Damage evaluations were conducted by using the damage grid method as developed by Dr. Pat Cobb, Auburn University. Five random damage ratings (0-9) were taken from each replicate and an average rating for the plot was determined. All data were transformed square-root(X + 5) prior to analysis. All treatments except the high rate of Sevin 3.5G significantly decreased mole cricket damage as compared to the untreated at 14 and 21 DAT. At 14 DAT, the high subsurface rate of Sevin 3.5G provided less control than all other insecticide treatments. Evaluation of the plots at 21 DAT showed the subsurface application of Mocap 10G at both the 5.0 lb (AI)/acre rate and 7.5 lb (AI)/acre rate as well as the 6.0 lb (AI)/acre Orthene 15G subsurface treatment, and the Mocap 10G surface treatment were all significantly more effective in reducing mole cricket damage as compared to the Sevin 3.5G high rate subsurface treatment or the untreated. No phytotoxicity was observed." |
