Abstract/Contents:"An area of non-irrigated rough at The Country Club of Jackson in Jackson County, MI was used for this test. Plots were 4 ft x 4 ft separated by a 1-ft-wide buffer strip. Treatment grids were all laid out at the same time. Three different treatment blocks, each with its own check, were set up adjacent to each other. All treatments were replicated 6 times. Treatments 1-7 were applied on 17 Jul (Block 1). Treatments 8-14 were applied on 25 Jul (Block 2). Treatments 15-21 were applied on 29 Aug. All plots were irrigated with a sprinkler (0.5-0.7 cm water) immediately after all of the treatments were applied for the day. All liquid applications were made with a hand-held CO₂ R&D Sprayer with a single 8003 nozzle at 50 psi at a rate of 175 gal/A finished spray. Granular materials were applied with a hand-held "salt shaker". The plots were evaluated between 8 Sep and 7 Oct by digging a 2.04 ft² area from the middle of each plot and counting the number of grubs. Control plots in the Jun treatment block turned brown from grubs by Sept. Mach 2 was most effective when applied on 25 Jul, while Merit was effective on all 3 application dates. Both insecticides seem to work well against European chafer."
