| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the research of cultural practices to prevent grub and European crane fly damage to lawns and sports fields. Mentions that "the research at MSU [Michigan State University] has shown that if turfgrass in home lawns has an adequate root biomass it is very tolerant to infestations of white grubs." States that "low maintenance home lawns can be managed to produce a large root system that is tolerant of grubs and is unlikely to need an insecticide application if homeowners and lawn care professionals" following the included recommendations based on the results of the trials. Describes how to prevent European crane fly damage in the spring and fall by using one of the included products and the indicated timing. |
