Kline E-mail: dek15@psu.edu Annual bluegrass weevil: Listronotus maculicollis (Dietz) This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of one experimental and three registered insecticides to suppress first generation annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) on a private golf course fairway adjacent to the rough in Bedford County The turfgrass area consisted of annual bluegrass (70%) and perennial ryegrass (30%). Treatment plots were 6 x 4 ft arranged in a RCB design and replicated three times with a 1 ft barrier around all replicates. Liquid formulations were applied by using a CO sprayer with four 8002VS TeeJet nozzles mounted on a 6 ft boom, operating at 28 psi, and applied 2 2 in 182 ml of water/24 ft or delivering 2.0 gal/1000 ft . At treatment time (9 May) the following soil and environmental conditions existed: air temp, 61°F; soil temp at l inch depth, 51°F; soil temp at 2 inch depth, 48°F; RH, 30%; amt of thatch, 0.75 inch; water pH, 7.0; application time, late morning; soil, moist; thatch, wet; and clear sunny skies. Immediately after application the experimental area was irrigated in with 0.1 inch of water. General soil conditions were as follows: soil textural class, loam; soil particle size analysis: sand, 38.0%; silt, 43.7 %; clay, 18.3%; soil percent water content (percent by wt), 23.9; organic matter, 6.1%; CEC, 14.7; and soil pH, 5.6. Two, 4 inch cup cutter sod samples were removed from each replicate on 8 Jun. The total no. of ABW pupae and larvae was recorded and converted to ft . Data were analyzed with ANOVA and the mean separation test used was the WD. The area selected for the experiment had been infested with a natural population of ABW during 2005 and 2006. Various larval instars were present. The breakdown of ABW larval life stages removed from all untreated checks follows: 26.83% second instars, 26.83 third instars, and 46.34% fourth and fifth instars. The three higher rates of DPX E2Y45 1.67SC, Scimitar GC, and Talstar F provided significant suppression of ABW. Arena did not provide significant suppression of ABW at the high or low rate.
