Abstract/Contents: | A Kentucky bluegrass fine fescue lawn infested with chinch bugs was well watered and fertilized. Granular insecticides were applied to 4.0 ft.2 plots with a 1.0 ft buffer with a hand held shaker. Liquid applications were made with an R+D CO2 sprayer at 40 lbs. psi with an LF2 80 deg nozzle. All insecticide treatments were applied one day after the chinch bugs were counted, and then four days later the chinch bugs were counted again. In all test plots including the control, the chinch bug population declined. The synthetic pyrethroids reduced populations the most in small plots They are: Tempo 2 C, Danitol 2.4 EC, Tempo 1 ME, Mavrik 2 EC. Orthene 75 (high rate), Mocap 10 G, and Triumph 4 E also reduced chinch bug populations. Oftanol 2 II, Triumph 4E, Diazinon EC, Mavrik 2 EC and high rates of Orthene 75 SP recommended for chinch bugs. The question;"do synthetic pyrethroids repel chinch bugs from treated plots?" was unanswered by the study. Table lists the control and 17 insecticides, insecticide rates applied in the study, and chinch bug populations before and after applications. |
