Abstract/Contents: | "The European crane fly is a new invasive first documented in the eastern U.S. (western NY) in 2004. This trial was conducted at two golf courses in Niagara County of western NY to test a series of conventional, biorational, and biological control products against natural spring populations of larvae. Applications were made on 12 May with the exception of Ornazin that was made on 24 May. At this time of year, larvae were still actively feeding and in the ultimate (fourth) instar. Trials were conducted on golf course roughs at Hyde Park, Niagara Falls and Niagara Falls Country Club, Lewiston. Hyde Park consisted primarily of perennial ryegrass (65% at two sites, 90% at third site) and Kentucky bluegrass (35% at two sites, 10% at third site). Niagara Falls CC consisted primarily of perennial ryegrass (50%), annual bluegrass (20%), tall fescue (15%) and Kentucky bluegrass (15%). Treatment plots were 3 Œ 3 m, with 1-ft buffers, arranged in a RCB block design. Three blocks were located on separate areas at Hyde Park and two blocks at separate areas of Niagara Falls CC. Liquid and wettable powder formulations were applied with a watering can using 2 gal of water while the granular formulations were applied with a shaker jar followed by the same amount of water. Water only was applied to the untreated check. Local weather conditions on days of application were: (Hyde Park 12 May) mean (min/max) air temperature, 44(37/52)°F; precipitation, none; application time, early morning. At Niagara Falls CC (12 May) air temperature was 47(38/55)°F, no precipitation, and application time was late morning. At Hyde Park on 24 May, air temperature was 52(46/59)°F, a trace of precipitation recorded, and application time was early morning. At Niagara Falls CC (24 May), mean (min/max) air temperature, 55(48/61)°F, no precipitation, and application time was late morning. The trial was rated on 9 Jun 2005 by harvesting nine 4-inch cup cutter plugs per replicate plot to a depth of 4 inches. Larvae were extracted in a modified Tullgren funnel equipped with a 40-watt light bulb and run for 24 h. Until they could be processed, samples were kept in a cooler at 40°F; all samples were processed within five days of collection. Data were transformed before ANOVA (square root [x+1]); untransformed means are presented. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means were separated using Tukey's HSD (P ≤ 0.05). Arena, Safari, and Provaunt showed significant suppression of larval populations relative to the untreated check, yielding 80-98% control. Although not significantly different than the untreated check, Merit and Dylox suppressed populations 73%. Tempo Ultra WP gave 58% control while Tempo 20 WP only gave 36%. The other products with >50% control were DPX and Allectus (0.23 rate). Less than 50% control was given by BotaniGard, Allectus (0.37 rate), Gnatrol and Ornazin. No phytotoxicity was observed." |
