| Abstract/Contents: | "Greenhouse experiments conducted at the University of Massachusetts from 1956-1958 have revealed an injurious effect of Fungus Gnat Bradysia impatiens (Joh.) larvae on the growth of Kentucky bluegrass and Creeping red fescue sod. Growth of both foliage and roots became reduced as the infestation of larvae increased." The gnat infestation coincided with an infestration of a fungus of the genus Cephalosporium (Acremonium). Common in the eastern United States, Bradysia impatiens has hitherto been known only to affect tomato plants and potato tubers. Complete control was attainable using chlordane in a 50% wettable powder mixed at the rate of 0.6 oz. per gallon of water. |
