Abstract/Contents: | "This experiment was conducted at an Industrial Park in Covington County, Mississippi. Soil type was a sandy clay loam. Experimental design was a RCB with four replications. Each replication was 10,000 ft² and contained an average on 10.25 to 13.75 active mounds before treatment. Insecticide applications were made on 13 Aug. Drench applications were made using 0.5 to 1 gal total spray per mound depending on the size of mound. Mounds with a base diam of 4 inches or less received 0.5 gal; mounds with a base diam of more than 4 inches received 1 gal. Liquid broadcast applications were made using Solo Knapsack sprayer with a fan nozzle at 25 psi, and a spray volume of 4 gal per 10,000 ft². Granular broadcast applications were applied with a Scotts ProTurf, hand-pushed spreader. Rainfall during this study was 0.25 inch on 20 Aug. One hour before each plot evaluation, two open vials baited with a strip of beef wiener were placed in each plot to help determine speed of action and presence of fine ants. Vials were then collected, capped and returned to the lab and counted to determine the number of ants captured per treatment and in the untreated check. Active fire ant mounds were determined visually and by touch. Pre-mounted counts were made on 13 Aug and post-treatment counts on 14 (1 DAT), 18 (5 DAT), 22 (9 DAT) and 26 Aug (13 DAT). There were no significant differences between any Talstar broadcast treatment and the untreated check at 1 DAT. There were significant differences between all other treatments and the untreated check at 1 DAT. Significant differences were also observed between all treatments and the untreated check at 5, 9 and 13 DAT. Significant differences also occurred between treatments. No phytotoxicity was observed to bahiagrass." |
