| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to determine the feasibility of mating disruption [to treat oriental beetle infestation] in turfgrass." Details the methods used in the experiment, stating that "two methods were used to determine the treatment effects on the mating success or [for] oriental beetles. The first method measured the ability of oriental beetle males to locate a pheromone source similar to a female by determining the number of oriental beetle males captured in traps...The second method estimated oriental beetle larval densities during September, following the applications by taking 30 soil/sod cores...with a standard golf hole cup cutter." Details maintenance treatments used in the study, stating that "the treatment plots were broadcast sprayed once or twice with microencapsulated oriental beetle sex pheromone using locally available spray equipment." Reports that "in 2002, oriental beetle male flight started in the first week of June, and trap captures had two distinct peaks on June 25 and around July 5...[and] total trap captures were 87% lower in the treated plots than in the control plots...In 2003...percent trap captures in the treated plots was 96-100% for the first week after each application...[and] in 2004...the effect of the pheromone started to decline in the second week after each application. Due to the high variation in larval densities, there were no significant differences among the treatments." Reports that "this study demonstrates the feasibility of mating disruption in the turfgrass system. However, the effect of the pheromone spray started to wane after about 10 days, making necessary an second application after 14 days...The efficacy of mating disruption using sprayable formulations could be improved with more frequent applications." Concludes that "dispersable pheromone formulations consisting of numerous broadcast small pheromone sources or fewer larger sources may solve the problems of limited persistence as well as contamination of clothing articles in the turfgrass system...ongoing studies with dispersible formulations suggest that mating disruptions can be an effective, safe, environmentally and economically sound, easily implemented, durable, and highly IPM [Integrated Pest Management]-compatible option for oriental beetle management in turfgrass." |
