| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to determine possible Ataenius beetle control methods. States that "a second year of testing the adult program for control of Ataenius on various golf courses in Cincinnati [Ohio] again showed that control with one application of diazinon at 6 lbs. [pounds] ai [active ingredient]/A [acre] was excellent." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "thirteen fairways on 3 golf courses in Cinncinati, Ohio...were used in the 1977 test program. Liquid formulations of diazinon (AG-500-4 EC) and chlorpyrifos (Dursban® 4 EC) were applied with hydraulic sprayers at 25 to 35 gallons of spray per acre." Reports that "control with diazinon 4 EC [was] generally excellent, and fair to excellent with the 14% granular formation...Control with the 2 applications of chlorpyrifos was generally fair." Concludes that "the data from these tests confirm the results obtained with diazinon 4 EC in 1976. Applications timed to kill adults before they can lay eggs successfully, prevent the development of larval infestation. The insecticide residue must continue killing adults through most of their egg-laying period...The results with chlorpyrifos indicate control may be inadequate. The results suggest the residual is not long enough to control adults through their period of oviposition." |
