Abstract/Contents:"An irrigation bentgrass section of the ninth fairway at Spring Lake Country Club in Spring Lake, MI was divided into eighty eight 12 ft x 12 ft plots with a 3 ft walkway between them. The fairway was mowed 3 times a week and was heavily irrigated throughout the test. Each treatment was replicated 6 times. Precounts were taken on the morning of 17 Jun by dividing the plots in half and having 2 samplers count all ant mounds in their half of the plot and adding the numbers together. The treatments were blocked out based on these precounts. The applications were made in the afternoon of 17 Jun. All spray treatments were applied with a CO₂ powered R&D backpack boom sprayer at a rate of 175 gal finished spray/acre at 50 psi with four 8008 nozzles. Granular treatments were applied with a hand-held 'salt-shaker.' Post-treatment evaluations were made on 23, 30 Jun, 6, 14, 22 and 28 Jul in the same manner as the precounts. Although the analysis of variance indicated that no treatments were significantly different from each other, some treatment means were reduced to less than 50% of the untreated check, particularly on the last sample date. Talstar and Dursban were most effective in reducing ant mounding on the fairway. The F formulation of Talstar worked better than the G. The highest rate of EXP 61508 worked well toward the end of the test, especially considering that the precount for this treatment was the highest in the test. We have used Dursban as a treated (standard) check in our golf course ant test for several years. Spring Lake Country Club is a new test location for us and Dursban did not work as well against ants as it has in recent years at a different location."
