| Abstract/Contents: | "The lawn consisted primarily of Kentucky bluegrass (30%), annual bluegrass (25%), perennial ryegrass (25%) and assorted broad leafed weeds (20%), maintained at 3.5 to 4.5 cm. Treatment plots were 2.6 X 2.6 m, replicated 5 times, arranged in a RCB design. All applications were made 11 Aug. Liquid formulations were applied by hand with watering cans, 3 liters water per plot. Granular formulations were applied using glass jars with perforated lids. Conditions at the time of application were as follows: air temperature 28 degrees high overcast with moderate humidity; soil type, silty loam; soil pH 6.2; water pH, 5.6. All plots were watered in with ca. 0.6 cm irrigation immediately after application. There was an additional 0.6 cm of rainfall ca. h after application. Product efficacy was evaluated 25 Sep (42 DAT) by cutting two 0.1 m2 samples out of each plot, dislodging soil with a hand trowel, and counting all grubs to a depth of 10 cm. All imidacloprid treatments provided significant reduction of grub populations relative to the untreated check. There was no significant difference between rates of application or formulation." |
