Abstract/Contents:"Seven insecticides were applied to a lawn maintained at ca. 2.5 inch on 6 Aug. Granular formulations were applied by hand shaking from a glass jar with a perforated lid. Liquid formulations were applied with 3 qt of water from a watering can. All applications were made in 2 (perpendicular) directions within each 8-ft by 8-ft plot. All tests were replicated 4 times in a CRB design. The test area received 0.75 inch irrigation (pH 6.8) immediately after application and 2.5 inch rainfall within 24 h after application. Plots were sampled 25 Sept. Two 1 sq ft sections of sod, ca 4 inch deep, were removed from the center of each plot, inspected on the spot, and the number of heatlhy grubs recorded. All of the treatments except Proxol provided statistically significant reductions of the grub population (primarily 3rd instar) relative to the untreated check. Triumph (both formulations) performed extremely well, reducing grub population at least 95%"
