| Abstract/Contents: | "Plots were 0.15 acre circles marked by an orange surveyor stake in the center. Pretreatment mound counts were made in the central 0.1 acre (subplot) of the larger 0.15 acre circle on 24 Jun. Posttreatment counts were made on 1 Jul (1 wk), 30 Jul (5 wk), 3 Sep (10 wk) and 22 Nov (21 wk). Three replicates were used for each treatment. Treatments were applied between 9:30 am and 3:30 pm when the soil temperature averaged 85 degrees F. Dursban drench, Orthene drench, and Orthene dry provided better than 70% control. Under severe reinfestation pressure at ten weeks posttreatment, only Dursban drench provided greater than 50% control. This treatment afforded better than 90% control after ten weeks." |
