Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association to "1. Determine relative susceptibility of three common grub species to the fungus 2. Compare several biopesticide formulations for control efficacy when applied under field conditions 3. Determine rates and timing of applications for optimal grub control under field conditions." Details the methods and materials used for the study, stating that "experimental formulations made with Ma microsclerotia provided near 50% control of Japanese beetle larvae, equal with an application of a commerical Ma formulation applied to turf in field plots." Reports that "control of white grubs with Ma was less than Merit chemical insecticide, which provided 90% control." Concludes that "the August application of treatments provided marginally better control of white grubs compared with the September application."
