2018 Pest Control Guidelines for Professional Turfgrass Managers EC 699 2018 Pest Control Guidelines for Professional Turfgrass Managers This publication is also available at: http://media.clemson.edu/public/turfgrass/2017%20Pest%20Management/2017%20Pest%20Control%20Recommendations.pdf 1 2018 Clemson University Pest Control Guidelines for Professional Turfgrass Managers Compiled and Edited by Dr. Bert McCarty Clemson University Turfgrass Specialist This guide supplies information on pesticides used for controlling pests in turfgrasses. Use pesticides safely to protect against human injury and harm to the environment. Diagnose your pest problem; select the proper pesticide, if one is needed; follow the label directions; and obey all federal, state, and local pesticide laws and regulations. Because of environmental risks, including water quality and wildlife toxicity and similar concerns, and risks of handling, some pesticides are classified as "RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDES". Such products bear this designation on their label and can be purchased and applied only by certified applicators. All other pesticides, classified as "GENERAL USE PESTICIDES", can be purchased and applied by anyone. Use of brand names does not imply endorsement of the products or criticism of similar ones not mentioned, but are used herein for convenience only. Mention of a proprietary product does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the authors.

Some, such as parasitic wasps and ground beetles, are in fact beneficial insects that feed on the pests and reduce damage. Therefore, it is important to identify insects found on turfgrass correctly. An effective integrated pest management (IPM) program takes into consideration the biology, ecology, environment impacts, and all available treatment options. An IPM system is not difficult to adopt. Unbeknown to most turfgrass professionals, they are already utilizing some of these elements in making pest management decisions. Insecticide efficacy can be reduced by many environmental and biological factors. Water pH outside the suitable range can quickly degrade insecticides (see Carrier Water Quality Influences Pesticide Stability in this publication). Some insecticides may persist longer in clay than in sandy loam. Some insecticides may need irrigation after application to penetrate the soil and kill the insects that live underground. Insects may also develop resistance to one group of insecticides if the same group is applied to the same insect population repeatedly. Rotate among insecticides of different modes of action in order to delay the development of insecticide resistance. To assist in developing rotation program, an IRAC table is included here.

  • Historical Use of Lead Arsenate and Survey of Soil Residues in Former Apple Orchards in Virginia
    HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA by Therese Nowak Schooley Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN LIFE SCIENCES in Entomology Michael J. Weaver, Chair Donald E. Mullins, Co-Chair Matthew J. Eick May 4, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: arsenic, lead, lead arsenate, orchards, soil residues, historical pesticides HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA Therese Nowak Schooley Abstract Inorganic pesticides including natural chemicals such as arsenic, copper, lead, and sulfur have been used extensively to control pests in agriculture. Lead arsenate (PbHAsO4) was first used in apple orchards in the late 1890’s to combat the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus). The affordable and persistent pesticide was applied in ever increasing amounts for the next half century. The persistence in the environment in addition to the heavy applications during the early 1900’s may have led to many of the current and former orchards in this country being contaminated. In this study, soil samples were taken from several apple orchards across the state, ranging from Southwest to Northern Virginia and were analyzed for arsenic and lead. Based on naturally occurring background levels and standards set by other states, two orchards sampled in this study were found to have very high levels of arsenic and lead in the soil, Snead Farm and Mint Spring Recreational Park. Average arsenic levels at Mint Spring Recreational Park and Snead Farm were found to be 65.2 ppm and 107.6 ppm, respectively.

  • Safe Pest Control
    SAFE PEST CONTROL U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development • Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control “For years, cockroaches have defeated our best efforts to get rid of them. We sprayed and sprayed, but they always came back. Now we under- stand there are better methods and products that really work” Environmental Health Watch Did you know...? ■ Many pesticides for home use are toxic? ■ There are alternative pest management methods that limit the use of toxic substances? ■ Mice, cockroaches, and cockroach "dust” can trigger asthma attack? What is it? Integrated pest management (IPM) is a way to remove pests, like cock- roaches, mice, and rats from a home. IPM is a common sense approach that: ■ Denies pests food, water, shelter and a way to enter the home. ■ Uses baits and powders, such as gel baits, traps and borate powder. Why use IPM? ■ IPM is safer. IPM does not use as many harmful pesticides as traditional pest control. - Avoiding pesticides is especially important in homes. Pesticides can contain long lasting, toxic chemicals or lung irritants that cause asthma attacks. Children are among those most vulnerable to exposure. IPM strategies apply pesticides only as needed and use the least hazardous pesticides to control pests. continued on back www.hud.gov/offices/lead U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development SAFE PEST CONTROL Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control Non-toxic traps can be part of an IPM strategy. If needed, call a pest control professional who uses IPM practices. If you have taken all the steps described above and still have a pest problem, you may need a professional to help.

  • Who Needs Chlorpyrifos and Why (By Crop)?
    1 WHO NEEDS CHLORPYRIFOS AND WHY (BY CROP)? EXCERPTS OF COMMENTS SUBMITTED TO EPA AT EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0653 GENERAL “Consumers I have visited with that do not have any ag background are easily swayed into the belief that farmers are polluting the environment and recklessly applying chemicals. Truth is our farmers are professionals and with today’s pricing cannot afford to be over- or misapplying inputs that affect their bottom lines…. I strongly suggest that you…allow producers of the world’s food source to continue using the product chlorpyrifos.” – North Dakota farmer. “Many food crop industries in the Pacific Northwest are concerned about the impacts to pest management based on EPA’s proposed tolerance revocation of chlorpyrifos, including several minor crop groups with limited pesticide options. These industries include processed vegetables, strawberry, grass seed, mint, and cranberry. For many of these industries, chlorpyrifos has unique properties that make it an essential part of their Integrated Pest Management program. It is also an important tool for resistance management. Several of these industries have conducted research to identify effective alternatives to chlorpyrifos, but currently there aren’t viable alternatives that match the efficacy and low risk of this product for managing a number of critical pests…. A revocation of all chlorpyrifos tolerances would eliminate a number of low-risk, critical uses in cases where few alternatives exist at present, and in many cases those alternatives (neonicotinoids, pyrethroids) would be less efficacious, more expensive and have greater impacts on nontarget species including pollinators and beneficial insects. Further, the economic impacts based on resulting crop damage would be substantial.” – Oregon State University Agronomist.

JACOBS & COMPANY Published January, 1909 This volume is dedicated to My Wife Fanny Beverley Wellford White PREFACE THE present biography of Stonewall Jackson is based upon an examination of original sources, as far as these are available. The accounts of Jack son s early life and of the development of his per sonal character are drawn, for the most part, from Doctor Eobert L. Dabney s biography and from Jackson s Life and Letters, by Mrs. Jackson. The Official Eecords of the war, of course, constitute the main source of the account here given of Jackson s military operations. Colonel G. F. E. Henderson s Life is an admirable of his career study military ; Doctor Dabney s biography, however, must remain the chief source of our knowledge concerning the personality of the Confederate leader. Written accounts by eye-witnesses, and oral statements made to the writer by participants in Jackson s campaigns, have been of great service in the preparation of this volume.
