| Abstract/Contents: | "The study was located on a non-irrigated fairway at Crockett's Green Hills Golf Course, Clyde, Ohio. Insecticides were applied 5 May to plots 15 x 14 ft arranged in a RCB design replicated three times. The liquid treatments were applied with a CO₂ sprayer and Teejet^D]T^D]M XR8010VS nozzles at 30 psi pressure that delivered a volume of 2 gal/1000 ft². There was no immediate post-treatment irrigation. Environmental conditions at time of the treatments were as follows: ants - mound building activity beginning in the fairway; turf - level, dry, 1 1/2 inch ht, 40% Kentucky bluegrass, 40% perennial ryegrass, and 20% annual bluegrass, no thatch; soil - moist, 51°F at 1 inch at 48°F at 3 inch; weather - sunny, 54°F, 0-10 mph. Efficacy of treatments was evaluated on 21 May, 5 Jun, and 1 Jul (16, 31, 42, 63 DAT, repectively) by counting the number of active mounds in two square yard areas from the center 100 ft² in each plot. ANOVA was done on plot totals and means separated by LSD test (P = 0.05). At 16 DAT, all Talstar treatments and Scimitar had completely stopped mound building. All materials significantly suppressed mound activities. At 31 DAT, all treatments except Tempo at the lowest rate continued significant suppression of mound building activity. At 42 DAT, all treatments showed diminished suppression in mound buliding but the differences between treatments were not significant. At 63 DAT, Merit plots treated at 0.3 lb (AI)/acre and Dursban bait had significantly fewer ant mounds. There were no signs of phytotoxicity from any of the treatments." |
