Abstract/Contents:"This experiment was conducted on fairways 10, 12, 13, 15 and 18 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 24 Oct. Granular formulations 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 24 Oct to 11 Nov was a total of 16.41 inches during this study. All plots received 0.33 inch water within 1 hour after applications. 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 24 Oct and post-treatment counts were made on 31 Oct and 6, 13, and 20 Nov. No significant differences were observed in mole cricket damage between any treatments and the untreated check, in first-two samplings (0 and 7 DAT). Significant differences among the treatments and untreated check were observed in subsequent samplings. By 28 DAT, all treatments reduced the damage significantly below that in the untreated check. Maximum reduction in damage was in the treatment with Biflex 1.75 PBO, followed by Talstar T 4 & 0 granular. No phytotoxicity was observed on Fairways."
