| Abstract/Contents: | "Three insecticides were applied to a rough in Hempstead, LI, NY on 23 Apr for control of a mixed population Oriental/Japanese grubs. The rough consisted of annual bluegrass (40%), perennial bluegrass (40%), and bentgrass (20%). The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft X 10 ft. Thatch accumulation was ca 0.5 inch compressed between the fingers. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader./ Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied with 2 gal of water through a watering can. All liquid applications were made in 2 directions within each plot. At treatment time the following environmental an soil conditions existed: air temperature, 53 degrees F; soil temperature (1 inch), 49 degrees F; soil type, sandy loam; soil pH, 4,4; soil moisture, 1.65 (w/d); and it was raining. It rained 0.2 inches in the 24 h posttreatment. Posttreatment counts were taken 36 days later (29 May) by cutting a 1 X 10-ft strip lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical soil cutter (2.25 inch) and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Species identifications were determined in the laboratory. Three ft2 samples were taken from each replicate, and mean surviving grubs detemined per ft2. The Oftanol 2I and the 2 Proxol treatments gave good control, the Triumph and Oftanol 5G gave unacceptable control. No phytotoxicity was observed." |
