Tunneling of the larvae causes the turf to feel spongy under foot and the turf can often be rolled back like loose carpet Even if observable turf injury is not evident, in the turf in predatory mammals such as skunks or raccoons may dig lunch! search of Once damage is observed in your lawn, you can check for grubs by digto 1 are about ging below the soil surface about 2 inches. The grubs head. brown red or a with They inch long and are cream colored light have three pairs of legs and curl to a C shape when exposed. They feed 1 to2 inches under the soil surface. Life cycles are from 1 to 3 years. The such as the grubs (larval stage) pupate to become adults (a scarab beetle May June beetle). The most important means of limiting grub injury is to grow a vigorous lawns can tolerate grub feeding more easily lawn. Healthy, than weakly growing lawns. Another way to limit grub damage as well as damage from other lawn insects is to select grass species which have some insect resistance. Fescues and perennial ryegrass are not as severely attacked as Kentucky bluegrass. To get the insect resistance, ask for seed that has a high level of endophyte. Several chemicals are available to control grubs in lawns but none of them will completely eliminate them. Repeat applications may be necessary. Timing of treatments is critical for success. Chemical control should be applied when damage is apparent. Damage could be visible in late spring, late summer or fall. For most insecticides, successful grub control requires the right watering routine before and after the chemical application. We recommend a thorough watering before applying the pesticide. Apply pesticide (granular or liquid) and then put one inch of water to transport the chemical to the proper depth. Then, dont water the lawn for four days to give the chemical time to work. As always, be sure to read and follow label instructions. Newer pesticides are more expensive but last longer and are more convenient to use. Some of these are do not require a strict irrigation routine. Systemic pesticides are taken up by grass roots and moved through the Grub Control and Scotts Bayer Advanced Lawn Season-lon- g plant. GrubEx Season-Lon- g Grub Control are examples of newer pesticides. Again, make sure to follow label directions. If turf is damaged by grubs, a little TLC will help it to recover. This usually involves additional water to help the plants tolerate root loss and a balanced fertilizer to stimulate root growth. well-water- ed designates Utah as federal drought disaster area USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman today designated the entire state of Utah a primary natural disaster area due to drought, insect infestation and high winds. The designation comes as Utah is suffering through its 5th year in a row of severe drought conditions. Water storage and stream flows in the state are approximately half of normal, and forecasted temperatures are expected to be above average with rainfall forecast to be less than normal. The federal declaration comes several weeks following a formal request for assistance by Utah Governor Mike Leavitt on May 20th of this year. Utah farmers and ranchers desperately need this federal assistance, said Governor Mike Leavitt.
