Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducuted to "investigate the quickest and most effective insecticide as well as gain information regarding control of ABW [annual bluegrass weevil] activity following the signs of visible damage to a fairway." Details the materials and methods used, stating that "this portion of the fairway consisted of 70 percent annual bluegrass, 20 percent creeping bentgrass and 10 percent perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L). The soil was a native clay-loam soil with a pH of 6.4." Reports that "at the 2 DAT [days after treatment] rating, Dylox had the greatest reduction in ABW larvae activity in the pulled plugs." Also reports "at 2 DAT, all insecticide-treated plots had a slightly higher turfgrass quality, although not statistically higher than the untreated control." Concludes that "it is best for superintendents to target [annual blue weevil] on a preventive basis using a combination or rotation of materials for resistance-management programs." |
