| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses possible methods for controlling insects in cool-season turfgrasses. States that "insects and other arthropods that feed on turfgrass fall into three categories - pests that do their dirty work below ground, those that reside in thatch and damage plant crowns, and the leaf and stem insect pests." Discusses proper thatch control methods, stating that "the great majority of insecticide residue can remain in the thatch and prevent the insecticide from reaching the target zone, particularly when the pests are grubs." Explains that "proper irrigation is generally needed to maintain high-quality turfgrass. For grub control, for example, 1/2- to 3/4-in. [inch] of water to a treated area after an insecticide application helps move the insecticide into the target zone." Also discusses the possible effects of mowing height, fertilization, and pH in insect infestation and control. Describes insecticides that may be effective in controlling turfgrass insect pests, including imidacloprid and halofenozide. Concludes that "there are a number of management strategies, both cultural and insecticidal that can be used to 'de-bug'...turfgrass; however, it is important to consider that the success of controlling both aboveground and belowground turfgrass insect pests involves using these strategies in unison, which will help to retain the quality of the turfgrass." |
