| Abstract/Contents: | "This experiment was conducted on fairways 11, 13, and 16 at the Jackson County Golf Course in Jackson County on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Soil type was a sandy clay loam. Mole crickets were mid-instar nymphs. Experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Each replication was 2,000 ft². Treatments were made on 19 Sep. Granular formations were applied with a Scotts Pro Turf, hand-pushed spreader. Liquid and wettable powder formulations were applied with a Solo Knapsack sprayer using a fan nozzle at 25 psi, and a spray volume of 2 gal per 2,000 ft². Rainfall from 19 Sep to 10 Oct was a total of 13.33 inches during this study. All plots except Orthene plots received 0.25 inch water within 1 h after applications. Orthene plots received 0.25 inch water immediately prior to application. Mole cricket damage was rated using a 1 m² frame divided into nine equal, square-shaped sections. The frame was placed on the ground at 10 locations/replicate. The presence of mounds and tunnels was determined visually and by touch. Damage ranged from zero (no damage in any of the nine sections) to nine (nine sections contained mounds and/or tunnels). Pretreatment counts were made on 19 Sep and post-treatment counts were made on 26 Sep and 3, 10 and 17 Oct. All treatments were equally effective in reducing more cricket damage by 14 DAT and thereafter relative to the untreated check. However, significant differences were observed in the overall mean damage ratings among different treatments and the untreated check, Scimitar CS @ 14.0 mls + Kinetec HV (wetter) @ 23.6 mls having resulted in maximum reducton in damage. No phytotoxicity was observed on fairways." |
