Abstract/Contents:"Twenty-three insecticide treatments were applied 31 Aug for control of Japanese beetle grubs. The fairway consisted of annual bluegrass (40), Kentucky bluegrass (30%), and perennial ryegrass (30%). Treatment plots were 6 by 9 ft., arranged in a RCB design and replicated 3 times. Liquid formulations were applied by using a compressed air sprayer with four 6504 Tee Jet nozzles mounted on a 6-ft boom, operating at 25 psi with a 3 gal/1,000 ft2 spray rate. Granular formulations were applied with a hand held shaker. The experimental plot was irrigated for 20 min, but irrigation did not occur until 18h after replication. At treatment time, the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temp, 90 degrees F; soil temp at 1-inch depth, 79 degrees F; soil temp at 2-inch depth, 79 degrees F; soil type, loam, soil pH 7.1; % organic matter, 3.2; soil condition, moist; amount of thatch, 1.25 inches; and partly cloudy skies. Posttreatment counts were made 29 days later (29 Sept). Three ft2 sod samples were taken from the center of each replicate and the total number of surviving Japanese beetle grubs were recorded for each ft2 sample. An average of 9 Japanese beetle grubs per ft2 was recorded 31 Aug before treatment. Posttreatment results showed that all formulations provided significant control except to Dursban 4E and Uc27BF2570W. No phytotoxicity was noted."
