Abstract/Contents: | "The ring nematodes (several species) are a major problem of centipedegrass lawns in Escambia County, Florida. Over a three-year period, beginning April 21, 1970, 112 soil samples from centipede turf were submitted to the nematode assay laboratory. Of this number, 96 contained moderate to very high levels of nematodes. Ring nematode was a major factor in all but six. The problem is so severe that most lawns begin to deteriorate after three to four years, if untreated. The conventional drench treatment, using DBCP has shown erratic results. Response ranges from none at all to very good. Recently, a golf green-type nematicide injector was modified for home lawn use. Shanks were replaced with coulters for use in cutting slits in the turf for DBCP injection. By observed turf response, the DBCP injection treatment appears to be much superior to the conventional drench treatment." |
