Abstract/Contents: | "Most red iported fire ant (RIFA), Solinopsis [Solenopsis] invicta, control measures employ the use of traditional insecticides. There is interest in developing biological controls for management of RIFA on commercial turfgrass. This test was designed to test the efficacy of the entomopathogenic nematode #355, Steinernema riobravis, against RIFA....[Results indicate that] it is difficult to say whether there was any reduction of RIFA activity in the nematode treated plots. Ideally, the treatments should have been applied earlier in the year. However, due to a lack of a suitable site with irrigation on the infested areas, the treatments were delayed until October." |
