Abstract/Contents: | "Larvae of European crane fly (Tipula paludosa Meigen) can be a serious pest of turfgrass in the USA west of the Cascade mountains. Emphasis on reducing dependency on pesticides has stimulated research on alternative control measures for European crane fly. The effects of insecticides, insecticide rate, biological products and irrigation on the survival of European crane fly were evaluated over four years withtwo sets of studies and four grass mixtures. Chlorpyrifos, isazofos, bendiocarb, carbaryl, isofenphos, and ethoprop, all provided over 80% reduction of larvae. One formulation of carbaryl (Sevimol) and low rates of isazofos provided only 20% larval reduction. Cyfluthrin applied at 0.11 kg a.i. ha-1 with 3.27 kl H20 ha-1 volume and no irrigation, provided significant reduction in larval populations. Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) seed extract (Margosan-O), did not reduce larvae significantly from the nontreated plots. Nematodes which are more active in cool soils (Steinernema feltiae, Biosys "27" Strain) provided a 56% reduction from control when applied in April 1991, while nematodes active in warmer soils (Steinernema carpocapsae "All" strain) provided a maximum reduction of 40% compared to controls when applied at full rate in March 1992. No damage from larval feeding was visually apparent even when levels as high as 819 larvae m-2 were present in June 1992." |
