Sp651-Costs Of Managing A Bermudagrass Football Field In Tennessee, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Commercial Horticulture

This publication is intended to provide sports turf managers and coaches an estimate of the costs of managing an existing bermudagrass football fi eld in Tennessee. Managing a healthy, wear-resistant football field requires routine mowing and fertilization.

Pb1739-Managing Fire Ants In Urban Areas, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service May 2005

Pb1739-Managing Fire Ants In Urban Areas, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Commercial Horticulture

The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, the black imported fire ant, Solenopsis richteri Forel, and their hybrid are nuisance insects and their stings can cause serious medical problems. Imported fire ants interfere with outdoor activities and harm wildlife throughout the southern United States. Ant mounds are unsightly and may reduce land values. In some cases, imported fire ants are considered to be beneficial because they prey upon other arthropod pests. In urban areas, fire ants prey on flea larvae, chinch bugs, cockroach eggs, ticks and other pests. In many infested areas, the problems outweigh the benefits and controlling …
