Abstract/Contents:"A putting green in Ardsley-on-Hudson, NY 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 to be 95.9% sand, 1.8% silt, and 2.3% clay. USDA criteria classify this soil as a fine sand based on the sand subfractions. Dragonfire CPP is 100% sesame oil and was mixed with 7509 Emulsifier (coconut alkanolamide) at the rate of 5:1 just before application. Rutopia is a mixture of natural sugars, sugar extracts, humectants, Trichodermia, "beneficial microorganisms" and other natural substances, and was mixed with JetWet® at the rate of 1.33:1. Treatments and controls were replicated six times (plots were 6 ft x 6 ft) and completely randomized. Dragonfire CPP was applied at 14.37 oz and Rutopia at 17.8 oz/1,000 sq ft in approximately 55 gal water on 5 Jun and again on 7 Jul. Rutopia was mixed with 13.2 oz JetWet® wetting agent just before application. Nematodes were recovered by wet sieving/sugar floatation and identified to genus. hoplolaimus (lance) and Tylenchorhynchus (stunt) nematodes were assessed. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and a test of LSD. There were no difference in turf color or thinning between the treatments. The treatments did not significantly reduce nematode populations when compared to the control. The summer of 2003 had considerable rainfall and It is possible that he excessive rainfall reduced the efficacy of the materials."
