| Abstract/Contents: | "Oftanol 5G and 22 species of entomogenous nematodes were applied to a golf course rough at the Newark Country Club on 25 Aug for control of Japanese beetle grubs. The rough consisted of Kentucky bluegrass (25%), annual bluegrass (60%), and broadleaf weeds (15%). The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 X 10 ft. Granular material was applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader. The nematodes, a dessicated and undessicated formulation of Steinernema feltiae Filipjev (strain NC 25) and undessicated formulation of Heterrhabditis sp. (strain Hp 88), were applied at a rate of 5 billion/acre in 11.4 liters of water through a sprinkling can to the center 4 sq ft of each plot. At treatment time (10 Aug) the following environmental conditions existed: air temperature, 72F, soil temperature, 81F (1 inch), 76F (3 inches); soil pH 7.0; water pH 6.8; organic matter, 5.3%; soil moisture, 7.0%; soil texture, coarse sand, 11.8%, medium sand 26.7%, fine sand, 38.5%, very fine sand, 17.2%, silt and clay, 5.8%; thatch was equal or greater than 0.25 inches deep. One-half inch of irrigation was applied after treatment. Posttreatment counts were taken on 2 Oct by cutting a 1- X 10-ft strip (2.25 inches deep) lengthwise through the middle of each plot with a mechanical sod cutter and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. A 3-sq ft sample of sod was examined in each plot, and the surviving grubs were counted. Grub species identifications were made in the field. The mean number of beetle grubs was significantly lower in the Oftanol- and Hp88-treated plots than in all other plots." |
