| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass is a perennial plant community highly valued for aesthetic, environmental, and recreational uses including lawns, golf courses, parks, athletic fields, and cemeteries. Unfortunately, turf is attacked by a variety of insect pests and chemical pesticides are undesirable due to the high human exposure. However, many pests of turfgrass are highly susceptible to entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae), the efficacy of which has been well demonstrated in the field. Entomopathogenic nematodes are now routinely used on golf course fairways in Japan for the control of hunting billbug and on home lawns in the USA and Canada for the control of white grubs, flea larvae, and molecrickets. Turf is an ideal system for the use of entomopathogenic nematodes due to its perennial nature, dense ground cover, and availability of irrigation, yet nematodes are underutilized in North America. The lack of availability of large quantities of good quality products, their high cost, and inconsistent control, have restricted the use of nematodes on golf course fairways, lawns, athletic fields, sod farms, and public parks, and the availability of inexpensive broad-spectrum chemical pesticides and extremely low damage thresholds has excluded their use on golf course greens. The ban on the use of many broad-spectrum chemical insecticides due to the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) coupled with recent discoveries of new and more effective nematode species and strains provides an opportunity to expand the use of nematodes in turfgrass. Recent research strongly suggests that predictable control of turf pests can be achieved with new strains of entomopathogenic nematodes that provide equal or better control than the curative chemical insecticides." |
