| Abstract/Contents: | "A trial was conducted at the Fox Squirrel Country Club in Brunswick Co. to determine the efficacy of various rates of granular insecticides applied on different dates for the control of newly hatched mole cricket nymphs. Test plots 30 ft x 30 ft were established on a bermudagrass fairway in an area which has a history of serious mole cricket infestations. Treatments (with 4 replications) were randomly assigned to the plots and preweighed portions of all insecticides tested were applied to the plots using a hand-held Republic EZ HandspreaderĀ©. Application took place on 8 and 22 Jun, and 12 Jul which corresponds to pre-egg laying and hatch, egg laying and early hatching, and full hatch with the presence of early mole cricket instars, respectively. After each application the fairway irrigation system was used to apply approximately 0.25 inch of water to the test area. Soil at the test site was classified as a sandy loam with a pH of 6.2 and 0.41 humic matter. Soapy water flush sampling in the area of the test indicated the population was approximately 15% Tawny and 85% Southern mole crickets. Plots were evaluated on 12 Jul by making two mĀ² soapy water flushes per plot and recording the number of mole cricket nymphs that came to the surface. Plots were evaluated for fresh damage on 27 Jul, 9 and 24 Aug and 14 Sep by taking five random mĀ² damage grid ratings (0-9) per plot. The actual damage means for each sampling date are reported in the table. All data were transformed ā(x + 0.5) prior to ANOVA and DNMRT. Evaluation of the plots by soapy water flush on 12 Jul showed no significant differences in nymph control among treatments on this date. Damage grid evaluation of fresh damage on 27 Jul indicate that only the 8 Jun and 12 Jul treatments of Merit 0.5G at the 0.5 lb AI/acre rate had significantly less damage than the untreated plots. A similar evaluation on 9 Aug indicated that only the 0.5 lb AI/acre rate applied on 8 and 22 Jun, and the 12 Jul application of Merit at both the 0.4 and 0.5 lb AI/acre rate had significantly less damage than the untreated plots. Damage grid evaluation of 24 Aug reveal that all treatments other than the 0.3 and 0.4 applied on 8 Jun, the 0.3 lb AI/acre rate of Merit applied on 22 Jun, and the Oftanol 5G treatment had significantly less damage than the untreated plots. The final evaluation on 14 Sep indicate that all treatments other than the early application of Merit at the 0.3 and 0.4 lb AI/acre rate (applied 8 Jun) had a significant reduction in damage as compared with the untreated control." |
