Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted "to determine if atrazine is affecting various arthropod populations in St. Augustinegrass, the most widely used turfgrass in Florida lawns." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "four pairs of plots were delineated in St. Augustinegrass at the Everglades Research and Education Center, Belle Glade, [Florida]...The two plots in each pair were immediately adjacent with one plot being the control (untreated) and the other plot treated with atrazine." Reports that "there were no significant differences in population densities in any of the pods between atrazine and control plots in the February pretreatment samples." Concludes that "atrazine application had no significant effect on the arthopods and/or rapid immigration back plots."
