SOIL INSECTS

INSECTICIDEFERTILIZER

W. G. EDEN

Entomologist

TwO BIG JOBS in one operation .That is the chief reason for increased

use of insecticide-fertilizer mixtures. Itis just one more way to cut farmingcosts.

Introduced more than 25 years ago,the idea of putting the two products inone bag caught on in recent years.Other pesticides-fungicides, herbicides,and nematocides-are also used in mix-tures with fertilizer, but in only 5% ofthe cases. The other 95% containinsecticides.

Research has been done on the jobfor many years with studies of mixturesand their practical use in the field.However, much remains to be done.More work is needed in control of soilinsects, especially in pastures and sodcrops.

Extensive studies have been made bythe API Agricultural Experiment Stationto determine best uses of insecticide-fertilizer mixtures in Alabama. As aresult of this research, recommendationscan be made.

ixaptei

Recommendations

Station recommendations are basedon pounds of actual toxicant per acre.For example, 1 lb. of heptachlor isequal to 4 lb. of 25%, 10 lb. of 10%, or20 lb. of 5% granular or powder ma-terial.

Controls for pests in corn, sweetpota-toes, Irish potatoes, pastures, and lawnsare given here.

CORN. For control of root worms andwireworms in corn, 1 lb. per acre ofaldrin, dieldrin, or heptachlor, or 2 lb.of chlordane is recommended. The gen-eral fertilizer recommendation for cornis 250 lb. of 4-12-12 per acre. Wheninsecticide-fertilizer mixtures are used,4-12-12 contains per ton 8 lb. of aldrin,dieldrin, or heptachlor, or 16 lb. ofchlordane. The mixture may be broad-cast or put in the drill.

SWEETPOTATOES. Two lb. of aldrin,dieldrin, or heptachlor, or 4 lb. ofchlordane per acre will control wire-worms, white grubs, ants, or flea beetlesin sweetpotatoes. The fertilizer recom-mendation at planting time is at least500 lb. of 4-12-12 per acre. Thus, thefertilizer contains per ton 8 lb. of hep-tachlor, dieldrin, or aldrin, or 16 lb.of chlordane.

IRISH POTATOES. Wireworms, fleabeetles, and imported fire ants may becontrolled in Irish potatoes with thesame insecticides and rates as given forsweetpotatoes. The recommended fer-tilizer at planting time is 1,500 lb. of4-12-12. To follow these recommenda-tions, the fertilizer should contain perton 2.6 lb. of dieldrin, heptachlor oraldrin, or 5.2 lb. of chlordane.

PASTURES. Imported fire ants andother soil insects are pests and fre-quently problems in pastures, other sodcrops, and small grains. Two lb. peracre of dieldrin or heptachlor, or 4 lb.of chlordane is recommended for con-trol. A general recommendation formaintenance of established permanentpastures (perennial legume-grass mix-tures) is 400 lb. of 0-16-8. Thus, thefertilizer for pasture maintenance mustcontain per ton 10 lb. of heptachlor ordieldrin or 20 lb. of chlordane.

LAWNS. Ants, chinch bugs, and otherinsects are pests in established lawns.These pests may be controlled by useof insecticide-fertilizer mixtures. Twolb. per acre of aldrin, dieldrin, or hep-tachlor, or 4 lb. of chlordane will con-trol the ants and chinch bugs. Therates are too low for heavy infestationof white grubs. Five to 8 lb. of aldrin,dieldrin, or heptachlor, or 10 to 16 lb.of chlordane is necessary for white grubcontrol. Any of these insecticides maybe mixed with lawn fertilizers. In thecase of white grubs, the treatments aremore effective if washed into the soil.

Control of white-fringed beetles mustbe considered separately from the fore-going general recommendations, be-cause this insect is under state and fed-eral quarantine regulations. Infestedsoils are first treated with 10 lb. ofDDT followed by annual applicationsof 2 lb. of DDT per acre. Dieldrin orheptachlor is also affective. These in-secticides may be applied in fertilizermixtures.

Precautions

Precautions must be used in handlingfertilizers containing insecticides. Ingeneral, concentrations are so low thatnormal operations offer no hazards tohandlers. Insecticide treatments nearbee hives or water sources must be car-ried out with care to prevent drift intothese areas. Insecticides are harmful tobees and fish. From the standpoint ofdrift, granular formulations are safer touse than dusts.
