| Abstract/Contents: | "Several insecticides (Triumph 4E, Dursban Pro, bifenthrin 0.3 ME, bifenthrin 0.05 G, Tempo 20 WP, and Talstar 0.67 F) were applied on 9 May and again on 18 Jul 1996 to golf course fairway turf to determine efficacy against the turfgrass ant. This test was conducted at Hickory Ridge Country Club, Amherst, MA. Conditions at the time of application on 9 May: light overcast, light breeze, air temp 65°F, soil temp 55°F at 2 inches, soil pH, 6.6 water pH 6.5. Conditions on 18 Jul: scattered clouds, light breeze, air temp 75°F, soil temp 72°F. Treatment plots were 10 ft x 10 ft, replicated five times, and arranged in a CRB, with 2 ft boarders between all plots. All liquid applications were applied with a watering can using 3 qt of water per plot. Granular products were applied using glass jars with perforated lids. Plots were watered in with 0.05 inch irrigation within 1 hr after application. Plots were evaluated 20, 48 and 63 days after first treatment, and 7, 14, and 35 days after second treatment. Product efficacy was determined by counting all ant mounds wholly within each plot. Mound counts in the untreated plots caried from 10 to 32 mounds per 100 ft² during the sampling period. Even at the lower densities, mounds were considered to be unsightly and detrimental to play. All materials tested reduced ant mound density significantly 20 DAT in the spring, but only Dursban continued to reduce mound density later in the summer. While synthetic pyrethroids have been used by turf managers to reduce ant mounding activity, these data suggest that mound suppression by such materials is temporary at best." |
