| Abstract/Contents: | "Three surface-applied granular insecticides formulations were evaluated for the control of mole cricket nymphs in a trial conducted at the Fox Squirrel Country Club in Bruswick Co., NC. Test plots 15 ft x 15 ft were established on a bermudagrass fairway with a moderate mole cricket infestation. Treatments were replicated four times and randomly assigned to the plots in a CRD. All insecticides were applied as treatments directed toward control of mid- to large-size nymphs on 30 Jul. Appropriate amounts of each formulation were applied to the plots using a hand-held Republic EZ HandspreaderĀ®. The soil was moist from irrigation the night before and the 4-inch soil temperature was 88Ā°F. Air temperature was 91Ā°F. The fairway irrigation system was used to apply 0.5 inch of water to the test site following application. Examination of the plots the next day indicated there was a high level of surface activity on the night of application. Soil at the test site was classified as Kureb fine sand with a pH of 6.1 and 0.41% humic matter. Soapy water flush sampling indicated that the population was approximately 70% MC nd 30% TMC. Control was evaluated using the damage grid method of Mack and Cobb (1989). A one mĀ² grid divided into nine subsections was placed randomly in each plot and a damage rating (0-9) given based on the number of subsections in which fresh damage was observed (with 0 = no damage and 9 = severe damage). Five damage ratings were taken in each plot on each sampling date. Plots were evaluated for fresh surface damage on 5 and 20 Aug (6 and 21 DAT, respectively). The actual damage means for each sampling date are reported in the Table. All data were transformed ā(X + 0.5) prior to ANOVA and Tukey's Studentized Range Test (HSD). Hot, dry conditions prevailed throughout much of late Jul and early Aug application and evaluation period. Evaluation of fresh surface damage at 6 DAT reveal that only the bendiocarb 2.5 SG treated plots had significantly less damage than the untreated check. At this date, damage observed in the other insecticides treatments (Turcam 2.5 SG and Talstar 0.2 G) was not significantly different from that observed in either the bendiocarb 2.5 SG plots or the untreated check. Statistical analysis of the damage evaluations results at 21 DAT show that both the Turcam 2.5 G and the bendiocarb 2.5 SG treatments had significantly less damage than the untreated check. Damage observed in the Talstar 2.5 G plots was not significantly different from that in either of the other two insecticide treatments or the untreated check. On 26 Aug the southeastern region of NC was visited by Hurricane Bonnie. The prolonged heavy rainfall at the test site was made further evaluation of the test plots inappropriate. No phytotoxicity was observed." |
