Abstract/Contents:"Treatments were applied on 5 May to 2.0 X 2.0m plots, which were replicated 5 times and arranged in a RCB design. The plots were established on a golf course fairway in Rye, NY--annual bluegrass (65%), creeping bentgrass (35%), maintained at 1.3 cm. Granular materials were applied by hand using glass jars with perforated lids. Liquid materials were applied with watering cans, using 3 liters water per plot. The Turcam and Oftanol plots were watered in by hand (ca 0.5 cm) (pH removing 5 soil cores (10.6 cm diam) per plot and inspecting the cores under magnification in the Amherst laboratory (each plug was ca. 0.01 m2). At the time of sampling, the population was 21% 3rd instar, 27% 4th instar, 52% 5th instar. All material except Oftanol 5 G reduced inspect [insect] populations significantly relative to the untreated check. In only one case (Turcam 76 WP) did the higher rate reduce populations significantly compared to the lower rate of the same formulation. There was no significant difference in performance between formulations of Turcam, while Oftanol 2 F reduced populations significantly better than Oftanol 5 G."
