| USGA Summary Points: | As few as 30 Larra bicolor wasps succeeded in establishing a local population when released at a distant site in Georgia. None of the initial Gainesville, Florida nor Tifton, Georgia releases of the wasp were on a golf course. Instead, they were released in places with high number of mole crickets. The point is to establish populations throughout counties, which will provide area-wide control of pest mole crickets. This will reduce numbers of these pests flying in to golf courses. Eventually the wasps (or flies or nematodes) will turn up on golf courses where, we can hope, that action of the first two can be enhanced by provision of nectar sources. Many superintendents think that unless research is performed on a golf course, it should not be funded: they do not yet understand the concept of area-wide biocontrol. |
