Abstract/Contents:"We made good progress this year in our effort to determine what causes outbreaks of Ataenius and Aphodious beetles on golf courses. Analysis of our data from a series of plots running the width of a fairway and adjacent rough showed a clear pattern of predator suppression in the fairways. Predators were 5 to 10 times more abundant in the rough than in the fairways. Levels of Ataenius were highly correlated (inversely) with levels of of predators, and a turf fungicide, Daconil, was found to suppress predator populations by 50%. A survey conducted by Nikki Rothwell indicated that Daconil is the most popular turf fungicide, and that golf courses make an average of 12 fungicide applications per year to fairways. In a separate study, the new insecticide, Merit, was most effective for Japanese beetle and European chafer when applied in early July."
