| Abstract/Contents: | "Five insecticides and a species of entomogenous nematodes were applied to a fairway at Drumlins Country Club, Syracuse, N.Y., on 19 Aug for control of a mixed population of Japanese beetle and European chafer grubs. The fairway consisted of Kentucky bluegrass (40%), annual bluegrass (45%), bentgrass (10%), and broadleaf weeds (5%). The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 X 10 ft. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied in 2 directions within each plot with 11.4 liters (3 gal) of water through a sprinkling can to the center 4 sq ft of each plot. At treatment time (19 Aug) the following environmental conditions existed: air temperature, 66F, soil temperature, 75F (1 inch); soil pH 6.7; water pH 7.6; organic matter, 5.6%; soil moisture, 20.0%; soil texture, coarse sand, 22.3%, medium sand, 42.8%, fine sand, 20.8%, very fine sand, 7.4% and silt and clay, 6.0%; thatch was minimal (<0.5 inches deep). Six-tenths inches of rain fell within 24 h before treatment and 0.25 inches of irrigation was applied after treatment. Posttreatment counts were taken on 29-30 Sep 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. All insecticides significantly reduced the densities of both Japanese beetle and European chafer grubs at this site. Nematodes did not significantly reduce either species of white grubs at this site. No phytotoxicity was seen in any of the plots." |
