Abstract

Earthworm cast is a harmful factor which reduces the uniformity of management of turfgrass and play quality in golf courses and playground. This research was conducted to carry out the efficacy of some pesticide (bifenthrin GR + clothianidin GR, ethoprophos GR, imidacloprid SC, picoxystrobin WG, thiophanate-methyl WP) and tee tree (Camellia oliefera) extracts against reducing earthworm cast in golf courses. All tested materials were acted reducing earthworm cast, thiophanate-methyl among them showed the highest effect reducing earthworm casts in golf courses. Tea tree extracts was occurred similar efficacy among tested chemical pesticides. However, pellet type byproduct of tea seed extract and liquid formulation of tea tree extract were better than granule formulation of them. Byproduct of tea seed and tea tree extract can be used for alternative biological management material for reducing earthworm cast in heavily casting occurrence area.

지렁이 분변토는 골프장이나 경기장에서 경기력 저하와 잔디 관리의 균일성을 떨어트리는 위해요소이다. 본 연구는 골프장에서 지렁이 분변토 감소를 목적으로 화학적 방제제(bifenthrin GR+clothianidin GR, ethoprophos GR, imidacloprid SC, picoxystrobin WG, thiophanate-methyl WP)와 차나무(Camellia oliefera) 추출물의 효과를 골프장에서 조사하였다. 모든 처리에서 지렁이 분변토 수가 감소하였으며 thiophanate-methyl WP의 지렁이 분변토 발생 억제효과가 가장 높았다. 차나무 추출물 처리도 지렁이 분변토 발생 효과를 보였는데 펠렛형 차나무 종자추출 부산물과 차나무 추출물 액상제형이 차나무 추출물 입상제형에 비하여 효과가 높았으며, 차나무 추출물이나 부산물 처리가 분변토 관리의 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
