| Abstract/Contents: | "The study was conducted in Lincoln, NE on a perennial rye golf course fairway. The turf (100% perennial rye) was maintained at a mowing height of 5/8 inches and thatch accumulation in the plot area was 0.5 inches [(]finger compressed, 0.25 inches). Field conditions at the time of application were: soil type, silty clay loam; soil organic matter, 3-5%; soil pH, 6-7; water pH, 7.0; soil moisture, near field capacity. Plots were 8 x 8 ft, and the experimental design was a RCB with 5 replications. Insecticide treatments were applied 19 Apr. Liquid insecticides were applied using a CO2 sprayer with an LF-4 tip at 24 psi and delivering 5 gal finished spray/1000 ft2. The granular formulation of Merit was applied with a pre-calibrated Gandy 24H12 spreader. Immediately following applications, the test area was irrigated with approximately 0.5 inches of water. A total of 20.68 inches of rain fell during the post-treatment period. Product efficacy was evaluated 3 Sep (137 days after treatment) by removing from each plot six, 8-inch diameter turf-soil cores (2.1 ft2 total area) to a depth of 3 inches and counting the number of surviving grubs. Southern masked chafer counts at the time of evaluation indicated approximately 5% egg and first-instar, 80% second-instar and 15% third-instar grubs. All treatments resulted in statistically significant reductions in white grub numbers. Merit 0.62G provided excellent (greater than 98%) preventive control. There was no history of Oftanol 2 use in the experimental area. No phytotoxicity was observed." |
