Abstract/Contents:"Twenty-three candidates/rates were evaluated at the Pearl River Valley Turf, Stone County, Miss., on 11 Aug. EC candidates were applied using a locally manufactured high pressure sprayer with 6 SS3W Teejet nozzles spaced 24 inches apart on a horizontal spray boom mounted 24 inches above the ground. This arrangement produced a 10 ft spray swath at 25 psi with 30 gal/acre finished spray. Granular formulations were applied using a modified Herd seed spreader mounted on a model 1700 Ford tractor. All candidates were applied to an area of 1,000 sq ft of established centipede turf at the rates indicated. A wheel-type core sampler was used to collect and composit 300 soil cores (0.5 X 2.0 inches) from each plot every 30 d following treatment. Alate IFA queens were exposed to treated soil for 7 d at which time relative mortality was determined. A mortality rating of 100% was required to display acceptable quarantine efficacy. Plots were destroyed by harvest on 15 May. Less than half of the candidate treatments provided sufficient control after the first mo postapplication. There was no relative phytotoxicity apparent from any of the treatments."
