| Abstract/Contents: | "The lawn consisted primarily of fine leafed fescue. Treatment plots were 5 X 6 ft. arranged in a randomized complete block design and replicated 3 times. Liquid formulations were applied by using a CO2 sprayer with four 8004VS TeeJet nozzles mounted on a 6-ft boom, operating at 28 psi, and delivering 5 gal/1000 sq ft. At treatment time, the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temperature, 82F; soil temperature, 79F; RH, 65%; amount of thatch, 0.25 inches; soil type, silty clay loam; soil size separation, 16.2% sand, 51.6% silt, 32.2% clay; soil moisture, 10.2%; soil pH 6.3; organic matter, 3.4%; water pH, slightly acidic; 1.8 inches of rainfall was recorded over the posttreatment period. Posttreatment counts were made 4 Aug. 9 days after the initial treatment. Hairy chinch bugs were sampled by driving a 6-inch-diam stainless steel cylinder into the turf, filling it with water, and counting the number of chinch bug nymphs and adults floating to the surface during a 10-min period. Three floatation samples were randomly taken from each replicate, and the total number of chinch bugs from each sample was recorded and converted to a sq-ft count. An average of 188.3 hairy chinch bug nymphs and adults/sq ft was recorded 26 Jul before treatment. Posttreatment counts completed on 4 Aug showed that all products provided significant control. No phytotoxicity was recorded." |
