| Abstract/Contents: | "The plant-parasitic sting nematode (Belonalaimus longicaudatus) is one of the most devastating nematode pests on turfgrass. In recent years, the turfgrass industry has seen a number of chemical control measures taken off the market leaving no effective alternative. The effectiveness of a commercial formulation of Econem (Pasteuria usgae, an obligate bacterial parasite specific to sting nematodes) was tested on a bermudagrass putting green in Texas. A complete-block design with five replicates of each treatment was used. Granular applications of 100 thousand (30 g product formulation) or 200 thousand spores (60 g product formulation) per 16 square foot plot were applied monthly from April through July 2009. Effects of treatments on nematode population densities, root health and length, turf color and turf density were evaluated over time. There was no effect of treatments on sting nematode populations, root health or turf density. Turf color was significantly greater at both the 100k and 200k levels from the untreated controls at the 0.05 level. Average root length was statically greater at the 200k level than the other treatments. Less than two percent of nematodes in bacterial treated plots were encumbered by P. usgae endospores at the termination of the experiment." |
