| Abstract/Contents: | "Four formulations of halofenozide (RH-0345) were tested for efficacy against European chafer larvae on a home lawn at the Suburban Experiment Station, Waltham, MA. The lawn consisted of 30% crabrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), 30% perennial ryegrass, 20% Kentucky bluegrass, 20% dandelion (Taraxacum officinale L.), and was mowed at ca. 1.5 inches. Treatment plots were 8 ft by 8 ft, replicated 5 times, arranged in a CRB. All applications were made on 24 Jul. Granular products were applied using glass jars with perforated lids. Liquid formulations were applied by hand with a watering can using 3 liters of water per plot. Soil conditions at the study site at time of application were as follows: soil type, silty loam; soil pH 6.2. All plots were watered in with 0.25 inch of irrigation through overhead irrigation within 15 minutes of application. Product efficacy was evaluated on 19 Sept (57 DAT) by removing 5 cup-cutter plugs (4.25-inch diam) from near the center of each plot, dislodging soil and counting all grubs to a depth of 3 inches. Halofenozide alone reduced larval populations significantly relative to the untreated check. However, when combined with the fertilizers, neither formulation reduced populations significantly. Both Merit and Triumph, included as industry standards, also reduced larval populations significantly. The application date was a little earlier than optimal for Triumph, perhaps accounting for its lower observed efficacy." |
