| Abstract/Contents: | "A putting green in Amherst, MA consisting of a mixture of annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass was chosen for this study. Top-dressing over the years has resulted in approximately 4 in. of sandy soil. Mechanical analysis of the top 4 in. showed it to be 84.6% sand, 11.4% silt, and 3.9% clay. USDA criteria classify this soil as a loamy sand based on the sand subfractions. BioNem L is a formulation of Bacillus firmus and seaweed extract. Treatments and controls were replicated six times (plots were 6 ft x 6 ft) and completely randomized. BioNem L was applied at 3 oz and 6 oz/1,000 sq ft in approximately 55 gal of water on 21 May, and again 19 June. Nemacur 10G was applied once at the rate of 2.3 lb/1,000 sq ft on 21 May. Following applications of treatments, the plots received approximately 0.25 in. of water. For nematode assays, ten subsamples per plot were collected with a 1 in. soil sampling tube to a depth of 4 in. and bulked. Nematodes were recovered by wet sieving/sugar flotation and identified to genus. helocotylenchus (spiral) and tylenchorhynchus (stunt) nematodes were assessed. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and a test of LSD. There were no differences in turf color or thinning among the treatments. Nemacur resulted in a decrease in both populations of nematodes but it was only statistically different on the 7 Aug collection date for each population. Neither the 3 oz nor 6 oz BioNem L treatments significantly reduced nematodes in this trial. The summer of 2003 had considerable rainfall and several inches of rain occurring following the 16 May treatments. It is possible that the excessive rainfall reduced the efficacy of the BioNem L treatments." |
