| Abstract/Contents: | "Penetration of nematicides through turf, thatch and soil presents a unique problem for control of nematodes in turfgrass. Many of the products currently used are found to have minimal mobility in the soil due to their affinity for binding to organic matter and the lack of options for soil incorporation. In this study, an abamectin formulation with enhanced soil/thatch mobility was developed and evaluated. To demonstrate improved mobility and control of nematodes, laboratory studies were conducted in 2014 and 2015, followed by turf trials in summer 2015. To test mobility in the laboratory, soil columns were packed with either sandy or silty loam. The soil was saturated and formulations were added to the top of each column, followed by an artificial rainfall event. After drying, segments were analyzed using HPLC to determine movement of the active through the column. Laboratory trials suggested much more targeted movement of abamectin from experimental products than from commercial controls. Experimental formulations were found to penetrate much deeper into the columns, with no penetration beyond 0.25 m. Formulations were also applied to golf course greens in comparison to two commercial controls. Population counts of nematodes were assessed as well as root length and percent turf greening. Turf trials on golf course greens demonstrated better control of nematode populations and turf quality as compared to commercial standards. This experimental formulation has shown to be much more effective for control of nematodes in turf than the commercial products tested." |
