| Abstract/Contents: | "Since insecticides are not incorporated into the soil in turfgrass applications, the movement of insecticides into the soil is necessary to get the control to the pest. This movement is complicated by the tendency for surface applied chemicals to break down before penetration, breakdown due to chemical actions within the soil, or degrade due to environmental factors before the insect population is affected. In addition, the insecticide must reach the pests when they are vulnerable. No chemical program of insect control can be effective without consideration of these issues." |
