| Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this study was to determine if soil application of bifentrin (Talstar T&O 0.2G) at the time of turfgrass establishment would provide residual protection against root-feeding white grubs during the following year. The test was conducted in a newly-seeded stand of tall fescue at Elkhorn Springs Sod Farm, near Frankfort, KY. The soil was a Maury silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic Typic Paleudalf). Soil texture was 23% clay, 74% silt, and 3% sand, with 8.8% organic matter and a pH = 6.4. There was no thatch. Plots (9 x 15 ft, with 9 ft untreated boundaries) were established in a RCB with six replications. Treatments were applied to bare soil with a Gandy spreader on 11 Sep 1992. The soil was than cultimulched and seeded the following day. The grub population was assessed on 14 Sep 1993 by cutting a strip (48 x 18 inches, 2.5 inches deep) from the center of each plot using a motorized sod cutter. The sod strips were broken apart and examined for grubs, which were collected, identified, and counted. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Fisher's protected LSD test to separate treatment means. Neither rate of bifentrin was effective in reducing numbers of Japanese beetle or southern masked chafer grubs the following growing season." |
