| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the use of the nematode Steinernema scapterisci for the biological control of mole crickets in Florida. Compares this biological control method with the use of chemical pesticides and discusses the impact that the nematode's persistence will have on the golf course industry in Florida. "Permanent, Florida-wide mole cricket control makes economic sense for ranchers, superintendents, and sod producers." |
