Two 1/10 acre subplots were permanently established in each of nine 1 acre plots. Eight products, four granular and four sprays, were broadcast over one acre plot each. The granular products were applied with a ground-driven Quaker Lawn Spreader pulled behind a John Deere 850 Lawn Tractor. Sprays were applied in 55 gallons of water per acre using a pull-behind sprayer with a 20 ft boom. These applications were made on 1 Aug. Approximately 0.2 inches of rain fell on the area within twelve h. Another 0.8 inches of rain fell within 24 h of the treatment. Posttreatment counts were made in the subplots on 7 Aug, 4 Sep, 23 Oct, 26 Nov, and 12 May.
