| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes the benefit of certain insects in controlling pests. Describes ants prevalant in golf course roughs, as voracious predators of the eggs and larvae of cutworms, grubs, and other turfgrass pests. Continues that, "these benefits, of course, must be weighed against the nuisance factor when ants build nests and mounds on putting greens and tees." Evaluates target-selective insecticides, in particluar "their potential impact on predatory insects, earthworms, and pollinators such as bumblebees that gorage in weedy turf." Investigates the effectiveness of MACH2® which had "no measurable adverse effects on earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms, predators, or bumblebees in our tests." Also comments on the effectiveness of Merit® with and without proper irrigation. Reports that "target-selective turf insecticides generally are compatible with conservation of beneficial invertibrates" and that "imidacloprid also seems to be compatible with predators and pollinators as long as the residues are watered in." |
