Question: | "A year ago the turf on our practice putting green began to turn brown along the entire outer edge of the green. Since that time the trouble has been gradually extending inward over the green in an irregular circle. We are sending you a plug of turf from the browned area and shall be glad to have your advice in the matter." |
Source of Question: | Delaware |
Answer/Response: | "Your turf is being destroyed by cutworms, which feed on the roots and the tender shoots of the grass. These can be controlled by poisoned bait prepared and applied as follows. Thoroughly mix 1 pound of white arsenic with 10 pounds of wheat bran. Moisten the mixture sufficiently to make it crumbly, with a solution of 1 pint of molasses in 10 pints of water. Scatter this bait on the green just before nightfall at the rate of 3½ pounds to 1,000 square feet. The treatment may have to be repeated once or twice." |
