Abstract/Contents:"White grub infestation is a widespread problem of golf, spors and lawn turf. In the Northeast, viable turf root systems are needed to maintain cool season turf stands during summer heat and drought stress periods. In order to curb the destruction to root systems by various Scarabaeidae species' larval feeding, insecticides and various cultural practices are implemented requiring time, money, labor, increasing the cost to maintain turfgrass stands. During a recent experiment in Somerset County, New Jersey a Keyport silt loam soil mixed turf stand, with an initial pH of 5.2, was amended with Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Silicate to adjust the pH to a range of 6.3-6.5 by applying a rate of 150 lbs/1000 ft2 CCE (calcium carbonate equivalent). Grub populations in the treated plots were reduced by more than 50% when compared with the controls. This experiment will be repeated for a second year and an additional experiment is planned to differentiate between pH and calcium effects on native grub populations."
