| Abstract/Contents: | "Plots, 12 X 12 ft with 3 ft buffer strips were established in a heavily infested fairway at the Ionia Country Club in Ionia. Treatments were applied on 15 Aug. Each treatment was replicated 6 times. Plots were sprayed with a R&D hand held boom sprayer with four 8003 nozzles at 50 psi for 66.4 s ( to give 4 gal/1000 ft2). Granular products were applied with custom-made hand shakers designed to require 3-4 trips over the entire plot area to evenly apply the amount of preweighed product. Ant mounds were counted just prior to insecticide treatment and once per wk for 5 wk afterwards. Ant mounds were counted if they could be seen while standing upright. At 3 and 4 wk after treatment, only Triumph 4 E had significantly reduced ant mounding in comparison with the control. At 1 and 2 wk after treatment all insecticide products reduced mounding except for Pageant DF. None of the products tested was effective 5 wk after application. |
