  17. Summary • At oviposition, imidacloprid (0.28 and0.37 kg ai ha-1), • cyfluthrin and thiamethoxam, significantly reduced larval • numbers by 72, 88,84 and 72%, respectively. • Late fall applications (Nov.) of imidacloprid (0.44kg at ha-1), • trichlorfon, lambda-cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos • and acephate provided significant larval reduction. • Early spring applications (Jan.-Feb) of bifenthrin (both • granular and liquid forms) and carbaryl (9.0 kg ai ha-1), • reduced larvae by 93 to 85%, respectively. • Late spring applications of bifenthrin (early March) reduced • larval numbers by 86%, while mid-March applications only • reduced larval numbers by 67%.

  18. Conclusions For unthrifty and newly established turfgrass areas, which are more susceptible to ECF and CCF damage, an application of imidacloprid would be effective in reducing larval populations in September at oviposition. Healthy, established turfgrass can be monitored in late fall or early spring for larval numbers above the threshold of 269 m-2, with an application of bifenthrin or the higher rate of carbaryl applied to reduce larval populations to limit damage to the turfgrass.
