| Abstract/Contents: | "The mounds constructed by Lasius neoniger (Emerey) at the site of this study range from 1 to 4 inches in diam and up to 1.5 inches in ht. The location was selected because of its history of these mounds occurring as dense as 30/yd² (25/m²). This location was on an irrigated fairway at Crockett's Green Hills Golf Course, Clyde, Ohio. Insecticides were applied 29 Apr and 17 Jun to plots 15 x 15 ft arranged in a RCB replicated three times. The liquid treatments were applied with a CO₂ sprayer and TeeJet XR8010VS nozzles at 30 psi pressure that delivered a volume of 2 gal/1000 ft². Granules were applied using a shaker jar and a string grid over the plots to faciliate uniform distribution. There was no immediate post-treatment irrigation. Environmental conditions at time of the 29 Apr treatments were as follows: ants-mound building activity beginning in the fairway, clustered 0-8/yd²; turf-level, dry, 1.25 inch ht, 40% Kentucky bluegrass, 30% perennial ryegrass, and 30% annual bluegrass, 0.625 inch thatch; soil-moist, 59°F at 1 inch and 55°F at 3 inch; weather-sunny, 54°F, 0-6 mph wind. Environmental conditions at time of the treatments on 17 Jun were as follows: ants-mounds clustered 2 to 21/yd²; turf-same as above; soil-moist, 65°F at 1 inch (2.5 cm) and 64°F at 3 inch; weather-sunny, 65°F. Efficacy data were obtained 14 May, 2 Jun, 6 Jul, 8 Aug, and 5 Oct (14, 34, 68, 104, and 150 DAT from the 29 Apr applications; 20, 55, and 111 DAT from the 17 Jun applications) by counting active mounds in 2 yd² two square yard areas from the center 100 ft² of each plot. ANOVA was done on plot totals and means separated by LSD test (P = 1.0). At 14 DAT, only the Suspend (spinosad) treatments gave significant reduction of mound building activity whereas the plots treated with another spinosad formulation, NAF 422, had significantly more mounds than the untreated check. At 34 DAT, the mound activity was high but extremely clumped. Mound counts in the untreated checks ranged from 2 to 21 mounds per yd² and none of the treatments showed significant reduction. At 68 DAT, mound building had slowed. Treatments containing nicotinyls, Merit (imadacloprid) and CGA-293343 (thiamethoxam), and the high rate of EXP 61508A (fipronil), reduced the mounds by at least one half but not significantly. At 104 DAT, Merit, CGA-293343, both rates of EXP 61508A, Naturalis T (Beauvaria bassiana) applied twice, and Suspend showed significant long term supression. The same treatments also showed supression at 150 DAT but these results were not significant due to the distribution of the mounds. The observations from the untreated check at that time ranged from 0 to 29/yd². There were no signs of phytotoxicity from any of the treatments." |
