Abstract The study was located on a golf course fairway at Seville, Ohio. Insecticides were applied 1 Sep to plots 8 × 10 ft (2.4 × 3.1 m) arranged in a randomized complete block, replicated 4 times. Liquids were applied using a CO2 sprayer with Teejet XR8006VS nozzles at 35 psi (2.46 kg/cm2) pressure that delivered a volume of 1 gal/1000 ft2 (407 liter/ha). The experimental area was irrigated approximately V> in (6 mm) after all treatments were applied but before sprays had dried on the grass blades. Environmental conditions at time of treatment were as follows. JB: ca. 215/m2, 60% 2nd and 40% 3rd instars. Turf: slight slope <5° dew, 1 in (2.5 cm) height, 65% Bentgrass, 30% annual bluegrass, 5% other grasses. Thatch: dense, moist, 5/s in (1.6 cm) Soil: moist, 73°F at 1 in (2.5 cm) and 72°F at 3 in (7.6 cm). Weather: cloudy and light rain, 74°F, 0 mph. Water: pH 5.1. Efficacy data taken 5 Oct (35 DAT) were based on the number of live JB larvae in six 7 × 7 in (17.8 × 17.8 cm) square samples from each plot.

Abstract The turfgrass area consisted primarily of annual bluegrass (50%) and creeping bentgrass (50%). Treatment plots were 9 × 6 ft, arranged in a RCB design and replicated 3 times. Granular formulations were applied with a hand-held shaker and mixed with a fine grade top-dressing sand to facilitate product distribution. Liquid formulations were applied with a CO2 compressed air sprayer with 4 8004VS TeeJet nozzles mounted on a 6 ft boom, operating at 28 psi, and delivering 5 gal/1000 ft2. At treatment time (23 Aug) the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temperature, 66°F; soil temperature at 1 inch depth, 70°F; soil temperature at 2 inch, 69°F; RH, 85%; amount of thatch, 0.125 inches; soil type, loam; soil particle size analysis: 37.0% sand, 45.0% silt, 18.0% clay; organic matter, 5.0%; soil moisture (oven baked), 31.6; water pH, 7.0; soil pH, 5.1; and overcast skies. Immediately after treatment the experimental area was irrigated with 0.5 inches of water. Posttreatment counts were made 49 DAT (11 Oct). Japanese beetle grub control was evaluated by removing four 0.087 ft2 sod samples from each replicate, and the total number of grubs were recorded and converted to a ft2 count. Sod samples were removed with a 4 inch diam cup cutter.

Abstract Treatments were applied 27 Jul to plots 8 X 8 ft arranged in a RCBD, replicated 4 times. Granular materials were applied with a shaker jar. Liquid treatments were applied in 1 liter of water per plot with a sprinkling can. The plot area was irrigated after the last treatment had been applied with about ¼inch water using the golf course system. Water pH to apply was 6.85; to irrigate, about 8.0. Environmental conditions at start (8:30 am) and finish (9:35 am) of treatment applications were, respectively: air temperature, 23° C and 31.5° C; RH, 84% and 60%; overcast (fog) and clear (calm); soil temperatures (surface) 26° C and 32° C, (1 inch) 25.5° C and 29.5° C; soil moist from regular irrigation; soil type, loam; soil particle analysis, 40.7% sand, 46.6% silt, 12.7% clay; organic matter, 11.7%, pH 5.35; CEC, 23.81 meg/100 g; 1/3 bar, 31.29%. Thatch thickness ranged from 0.24 to 0.38 inches for 28 samples over plot area. Grub population was 100% Japanese beetle (pre- and post-treatment); avg no. grubs at treatment was 34.5/ft2 (59.4% mid to late 1st instar, 40.6% early 2nd instar). Efficacy was evaluated at 53 DAT using a cup changer to extract 4 plugs near the center of each plot to a depth of 2-3 inches and counting live larvae in each sample. The no. larvae for the 4 plugs from each plot was averaged to produce a mean for each replicate for statistical analysis.

Abstract Merit 75W and Tempo 20W were compared as side by side treatments on whole greens with ½ half of a green being a replicate of each treatment. Treatments were applied 23 May, replicated 4 times; there was no untreated control. Compounds were applied with a Cushman Turfmaster 125 sprayer and watered in with the same sprayer at 120 gal/acre. Water pH was 8.33. Environmental conditions at start (8:35 am) and finish (11:30 am) of treatment applications were, respectively: air temperature, 23.5°C and 32.5°C; RH, 43% and 54%; sky clear; soil temperature (surface), 25.5°C and 33.5°C, (1 inch) 25.5°C and 29°C; soil very moist. Efficacy was evaluated on 31 Jul (69 DAT) by treating entire greens with Tempo 2 at the rate of 0.04 lb (AI)/acre, syringing the green 8-10 min and counting the no. of cutworms flushed to the surface in a sample area of 4 m2. Two areas were sampled on each treated half of each green. Within these sample areas, the no. of obvious cutworm feeding holes were also counted.
