Abstract: Turf stands developed at NYSAES,
Geneva, NY were treated with both "fast tracked" chemicals as well
as biological insecticides in 2000 and 2001. This field test will demonstrate
the effects of these pest management applications on nontarget soil fauna in
turfgrass. A several year study of this issue is important because effects on
nontarget soil fauna may be cumulative.
