Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrass insect pest management products focusing on biological controls. Provides information on chemical pesticides, biological controls, insect growth regulators, entomogenous nematodes, and fungal pathogens. Profiles Merit, Imidacloprid, "a new-chemistry, broad-spectrum, long residual insecticide, registered by Miles to control soil-and crown-habitating insects in turfgrass." Notes that there are over 30 subspecies and varieties of Bacillus thuringiensis that "produces a portein crystal that is toxic to a fairly limited number of species or groups." Concludes that both chemically-based and biologically-based products have "increased the number and variety of tools available for turfgrass pest management." |
