Popis: Chemicals used in this study: acephate (Orthene 75 S) O,S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate; bendiocarb (Turcam 76 W) 2,2-dimethyl­ 1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl methylcarbamate; bifenthrin (Talstar 0.2 G, Talstar F) 2-methyl (1,1'-biphenyl)-3-yl methyl 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3,­ trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate; carbofuran (Furadan 4 F) 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate; chlorpyrifos (Lorsban 15 G, Dursban Turf, SuSCon Green) O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2­ pyridinyl)phosphorothioate; disulfoton (Di-Syston 15 G) O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio)ethyl] phosphorodithioate; fipronil (Chipco Choice) 5-amino-1-(2,6-dichlorotrifluoro-p-tolyl)-4-trifluoromethylsulfinyl-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile; halofenozide (Mach 2 2SC) 4-chloro-2­ benzoyl-(l,l-dimethyl) hydrazide benzoic acid, imidacloprid (Marathon 60 W, Marathon 1 G) 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro­ 2-imidazolidinimine; isofenphos (OftanoI2) 1-methylethyI2-[[ethoxy[(1-methylethyl) amino]-phophinothioyl]oxy]benzoate; tefluthrin (Fireban 1.5 G) 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methylbenzyl cis-3-(Z-2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate. Significance to the Nursery Industry White grubs, larvae of scarab beetles, damage and destroy roots of their hosts and can cause rejection of nursery stock for interstate and international commerce. Preplant incorpo­ ration ofFireban 1.5 G (tefluthrin) or Talstar 0.2 G (bifenthrin) can provide multi-year protection of container-grown nurs­ ery stock from these larvae. The labeled rate of Marathon 60 W (imidacloprid), drenched during mid-summer, also pro­ vided complete control of Japanese and oriental beetle lar­ vae during the year of application. Product cost for preplant incorporation of Talstar is about 1 cent per #1 container (2.5 liter), depending upon the bulk density of the growing me­ dium. The Talstar F drench treatment is about the same cost, and may be appropriate for established plants. Marathon 1 G preplant incorporation costs 17.5 cents per #1 container; the extra cost may be partially offset by the expected control of
