Abstract/Contents: | "Nine insecticides were applied to a fairway at Onondaga C.C. on 29 Aug for control of Japanese beetle grubs. The fairway consisted of Kentucky bluegrass (75%), annual bluegrass (20%), and broadleaf weeds (5%). The experimental design was RCB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft X 10 ft. Thatch accumulation was ca. 0.5 inch compressed between the fingers. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Grandy 2G spreader. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applications with 3 gal of water through a watering can. All liquid applications were made in two directions within each plot. At treatment time, the following environmental and soil conditions existed: air temp 62 d F; soil temp (1 inch, 52 d F; (3 inch, 50 d F); soil type, sandy loam; soil pH, 6.5; water pH, 6.7; soil moisture, 15.2%. Pretreatment was 12.1 grubs per sq. ft. Posttreatment counts were taken 30 days later (29 May) by cutting a 1 X 10-ft strips lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical sod cutter (2.25 inch depth) and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Species identifications were made in the field. Three samples were taken from each replicate, and mean surviving grubs determined per ft. Turcam 76WP, Triumph 1E, UCSF48 20G, and Mephofolan 2G gave acceptable control. Oftanol 1.5G from both suppliers gave unacceptable control. No phytotoxicity was observed. Turf was in good shape with no evidence of grub damage." |
