Abstract
Abstract The study was located on a golf course fairway at Jeromesville. Insecticides and entomopathogenic nematodes were applied 29 Jun to plots 2.4 X 3.1 m arranged in RCB replicated 4 times. Granular insecticides were applied using a drop spreader and liquids using a CO2 sprayer with Teejet XR8006VS nozzles at 2.46 kg/cm2 pressure that delivered a volume of 407 liter/ha. Nematodes were applied with a CO2 sprayer using Teejet 8015 noziles at 3.87 kg/cm2 pressure that delivered a spray volume of 990 liter/ha. The experimental area was irrigated approximately 6.4 mm after all treatments were applied but before sprays had dried on the grass blades. BTA populations was ca. 40/0.1 m2, 60% 1st, 20% 2nd, 20% 3rd instars. Environmental conditions at time of treatment were: turf: level, dry, 1.6 cm height, 50% annual bluegrass, 30% perennial ryegrass, 20% annual bluegrass; thatch: dense, moist, 1.3 cm; soil: moist, 65°F at 2.54 cm and 67°F at 7.62 cm; weather: sunny, 64°F, wind 0-8 km/h; water: pH 6.65. Efficacy data were taken on 7 and 9 Jul (8 & 10 DAT) based on the number of live BTA larvae and pupae in 6, 10.8 cm diam samples from each plot. No phytotoxicity was observed.
