| Abstract/Contents: | "This experiment was completed on a turfgrass area consisting of 50% annual bluegrass and 50% perennial ryegrass maintained at the Penn State Valentine Turfgrass Research Center at University Park to determine the residual effectiveness of treatments against the destructive NA. Treatments plots were 6 x 16 ft, arranged in a RCB design and replicated 4 times. Liquid formulations were applied by using a CO₂ sprayer with 4 8002VS TeeJet nozzles mounted on a 6 ft boom operating at 28 psi, and applied in 726 ml of water/96 ft² or delivering 2.0 gal/1000 ft². Granular formulations were applied with a hand held shaker with top dressing sand used to provide even distribution of product. At treatment time (21 Jun), the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temp, 62°F; soil temp at 1 inch depth, 62°F; soil temp at 2 inch depth, 62°F; RH, 85%; amt of thatch, 0.125-0.25 inch; soil textural class, silt loam; soil particle size analysis: 10.8% sand; 70.7% silt, 18.5% clay; percent water content (percent by wt), 24.3; organic matter, 4.7%; water pH, 7.0; soil pH, 5.6; time of application, early-morning; and overcast skies. The experimental areas received 0.055 inch of irrigation 48 h after treatment. additional irrigation was applied as and when needed due to severe drought conditions. Efficacy data was recorded 23 Jun, 24 Jun, 28 Jun, 5 Jul, and 28 Jul by counting the number of active mounds within each treatment replicate. An average of 72.7 active NA mounds were observed on 20 Jun. Each replicate was swept clean of all active NA mounds on 19 Jun prior to recording pretreatment counts on 20 Jun. Pretreatment counts were not significantly different. Ten treatments provided significant mound reduction 2 DAT, 3 DAT, and 5 DAT. 7 DAT and 14 DAT eight treatments provided significant mound reduction while only six treatments provided significant mound reducton 21 DAT. No treatments provided significant mound reduction 37 DAT. No phytotoxocity was noted." |
