Abstract/Contents:"As a part of continuing investigations of the occurrence and importance of nematodes in the northeastern USA, nematode damage symptoms (chlorosis, stunting, bare spots, lack of response to water, fertilizer, and insecticides) were detected in the 3.7-hectare (ha) bluegrass parade ground (called the 'Plain') at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y. The damage was related to the presence of a mixed population of nematodes composed primarily of Tylenehorhynchus dubius, Criconemoides rusticus, Helicotylenchus pseudorobustus, and small numbers of Pratylenchus erenatus, and it has required the annual replacement of 279-372 m2 of the most unsightly of the sod. The location and purpose of the 'Plain' made it pertinent to treat the entire area uniformly. In April, 1973, ethoprop (O-ethyl S, S-dipropyl phosphorodithioate) was applied at the rate of 224.5 kg 10G (22.45 kg a.i.)/ha broadcast. Microplots (steel cylinder sunk in four separate symptomatic locations) were covered during the application. Samples of turf roots and surrounding soil from treated areas and from microplots collected 2 and 6 mo after treatment, indicated 85-95% nematode reductions. Four months after treatment, chlorosis was sharply reduced and grass growth had increased, making sod replacement unnecessary. Cost-benefit analysis favors yearly treatment on the basis of $800 for treatment (chemical cost, labor, and equipment use) vs. $2,000-$2,500 for sod replacement (purchase, labor, and extra maintenance) plus intangible increased value due to cosmetic improvement."
