Chemical Tutorial
Insects and nematodes may
become major problems due to the lack of an effective biological
control system. University of Florida scientists have developed such a system for
mole crickets, using biological controls along with various
cultural methods. These methods, in combination with the proper use of pesticides, may limit mole cricket damage and significantly reduce the cost of managing turfgrass. In Florida alone, just the cost of pesticides
to control mole crickets is estimated at tens of millions per year.
Unlike biological controls, a chemical control system is energy
intensive. This short tutorial will provide basic information on limiting energy use in chemical
control systems. Files on calibration are made available in the tutorial for those users interested
in saving energy, money, and the environment.
