| Abstract/Contents: | "An experimental compound under development by DuPont was applied to golf course fairway turf on 12 May and sampled 12 Jul to determine the efficacy of the compound against the second generation of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW). The test was conducted at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, Scarborough, NY. The conditions at the time of application were as follows: air temp, 55-60° F; soil temp, 61° F; water pH, 6.0; light NE wind; scattered clouds. Treatment plots were 6 ^D#x 6 ft, replicated five times, and arranged in a CRB design. All sprayable formulations were applied with a watering can (3 qt water per plot). All granular formulations were applied using a jar with perforated lid. Plots were irrigated with 0.1 inch of water within 1 h after application. Product efficacy was evaluated on 12 Jul by removing ten 1.85-inch-diameter cores from near the center of each plot, transporting the cores to our Amherst laboratory, and using a saline solution to extract all stages except eggs. Each core was recorded separately, and all counts were included in statistical analyses (Fisher's Protected LSD, P < 0.0001). Adults were not included in the analysis because of their mobility. The insect population in the untreated plots was well above the commonly accepted threshold population (30 to 40 larvae per sq ft for summer activity). All treatments except Talstar SC reduced insect populations significantly in the second generation, even though applications had been made to target the first generation. However, most of the treatments did not provide agronomically acceptable levels of control (70% to 80%), and populations in many plots were at or above threshold levels." |
