| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of research conducted to determine the spatial distribution of two insect pests, Ataenius spretulus and Aphodius granarius, and their natural predators in golf course fairways and roughs. The insect pests were found to be much more abundant, and their predators much less abundant, in the fairways than in the roughs. Application of the pesticide Daconil had no effect on the distribution of the insects. Manipulations of mowing height and maintenance regimes suggest that insect pests prefer the habitat of the shorter-mowed, fairway turf, which supports fewer natural predators than the taller rough. |
