| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles mole crickets, Scapteriscus spp., stating that "mole cricket damage to pasture and turf grasses principally is caused by the tawny mole cricket S. vicinus Scudder feeding on roots, and by shallow tunneling (galleries) by both S. vicinus and the southern mole cricket, S. borellii Giglio-Tos." Describes symptoms of mole cricket damage and a study conducted "to determine whether applying nematodes in strips that covered 12.5%, 25%, or 50% of a plot would result in controlling mole crickets in a larger area through natural dispersal of nematodes by mole crickets." Concludes that "strip applications were much less expensive than treating the entire pasture, but equally effective in providing biological control of mole crickets." |
