| Abstract/Contents: | "The field plot consisted primarily of annual bluegrass (30%) and creeping bentgrass (70%) in Easton, PA. Treatment plots were 6 X 6 ft, arranged in a complete randomized block design and replicated 3 times. Liquid formulations were applied by using a CO₂ sprayer with 4 8004VS TeeJet nozzles mounted on a 6 ft boom, operating at 28 psi, and applied in 682 ml of water/36 ft² or delivering 5 gal/1,000ft². At the treatment time (13 May), the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temperature, 54°F; temperature at 1 inch depth, 60°F; soil temperature at 2 inch depth, 58°F; RH, 45%; amount of thatch, 0.5inch; soil textural class, silt loam; soil particle size analysis: 24.8% sand, 51.9% silt, 23.3% clay; organic matter, 2.6%; soil moisture (oven dry weight), 18.8%; water pH, 7.0; soil pH, 6.3; application time, late-morning; and skies were clear. Immediately after treatment the experimental area was irrigated with 0.1 inch of water. Post-treatment counts were made on 20 May. BTA control was evaluated by randomly placing two 14-inch filtration rings in each replicate, filling them with soapy water, and counting the total number of adult black turfgrass ataenius floating to the surface. BTA infestations caused major damage to the experimental area in 1995. During the spring on 1996, BTA population counts were very low and no treatment reduced these significantly below that in the untreated check. No phytotoxicity was noted." |
