| Abstract/Contents: | "Two species of entomogeneous nematode were applied 24 Aug to a golf course fairway for control of Japanese beetle. Plot size was 10 by 10 ft and replicated 4 times in a completely random design. Treatments were applied in 2 liters water with a sprinkling can and irrigated immediately with 11.3 liters water (pH 6.49). Environmental and soil conditions at treatment were as follows: Air temperature, 80 degrees F; ground surface RH, 65%; sunny during application with 0.25 inches of rain about 4 h after application; soil temperature (2 inches), 76 degrees F; soil moisture, 23.5%; soil pH, 6.2; organic matter, 5.3%. Thatch layer varied from one-eighth to three-quarters inches (not compressed). Rrainfall during the trial period at 35 and 49 DAT and 6.15 and 6.60 inches, respectively. Treatments were evaluated by sampling 4 locations in each plot using a cup changer (4.25 inches diam). Highest levels of control were provided by Heterochabditis sp. (HP88 strain) at all comparable rates, but differences between species of nematode were not significant except at the rate of 2 billion/acre." |
