| Abstract/Contents: | "Two 1/10 acre subplots were permanently established in each of nine 1 acre plots. Eight products, four granular and four sprays were broadcast over one acre plot each. The granular products were applied with a ground-driven Quaker Lawn Spreader pulled behind a John Deere 850 Lawn Tractor. Sprays were applied in 55 gallons of water per acre using a pull-behind sprayer with a 20 ft boom These applications were made on 1 Aug. Approximatley 0.2 inches of rain fell on the area within twelve h. Another 0.8 inches of rain fell within 24 h of the treatment. Posttreatment counts were made in the subplots on 7 Aug, 4 Sep, 23 Oct, 26 Nov, and 12 May. The Dursban 2.5G plots eliminated fire ant activity at the five week posttreatment mark and maintained this control throughout the test period of 41 weeks. Two other granular products, Oftanol 5G and Triumph 1G, provided 100% control throughout most of the test. Oftanol 2 was the only spray formulation to reach 100% control at any time during the test. The granular formualations performed much better than their respective spray formulation in controlling fire ants." |
