Abstract/Contents:"An irrigated bentgrass section of the ninth fairway at Shadow Ridge Golf Course in Ionia, MI was divided into forty eight 12 x 12 ft plots with a 3 ft walkway between them. Each treatment was replicated 6 times. The treatments were applied on 12 Jun and 9 Jul with a CO₂ powered R&D backpack boom sprayer at 175 gal finished spray/acre at 50 psi with four 8008 nozzles. Evaluations were made on 12 Jun, 20 Jun, 26 Jun, 2 Jul, 9 Jul, 19 Jul, and 25 Jul by counting active ant mounds in each plot. Dursban 50 WSP and Dursban Pro reduced the ant population and subsequent mounding by 80-90% as compared with the untreated check. The Dursban Pro was slightly better than Dursban 50 WSP for ant control. No difference was observed between the 2 and 3 lb (AI) rates of Dursban 50 WSP, but the two highest rates of Dursban Pro were more effective than the lowest rate. Merit reduced the ant population by about 50%. NAF-264 did not reduce the population or mounding."
